[QUOTE="BigBart33, post: 16725445, member: 203064"] Hey all, My 03 Cobra has split 2 Ford Motorcraft oil filters in as many days. It’s been very cold here, both times I tried to start it, it was under 15 degrees. My idea is that the oil is getting extremely thick, putting a ton of pressure on the filter, and causing it to crack. I was running 5w-20 this last time. As I understand it, the oil filter and engine are supposed to have pressure releases to keep this from happening. I’m going to try another filter brand (Wix Xp is the best I can get in my area I believe), but other than that, do you guys agree that it might be the oil pressure relief valve in the oil pump? Or could it be something else I’m missing. Also, if it is due to a stuck oil pressure relief valve, is that located in the oil pump? It’s an MMR Hurricane bump btw. I couldn’t find any other occurrences of this here on SVT performance. Edit: forgot to mention that it happened as soon as I turned the car on both times. [/QUOTE]
