While I had a quick second, I took these images of the Oil Filter Cartridge from my 05' Chevy Cobalt, since I learned that the filter has a built in housing and the filter cartridges are whats needed to replace the oil filter. I've had at least 4 oil changes done by Walmart in my local area over the past couple of years, this was the condition of the Oil filter after I had taken it out. <Pictured Above>. Filter is practically hard as a baseball. Never again am I going to Walmart for an oil change 🤬 .
If I am in dire need of an oil change, like for example the Winter season, I will purchase the oil and filter myself and make sure they're both put in, i'll go else where to have it done. 😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬! On the brighter side, the car is more peppier, not too shabby for a 4 cylinder. I will start seeing better fuel economy now.
