Gah Oil Filter Problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm changing my oil right... and as I was taking off my oil filter I noticed no oil was spilling out. And when I got it off and looked inside there was only a few drops of oil in it...

Every other time I did it oil always spilled out and the thing was full. What could be the problem?

BTW I stuck my small socket extension in the hole to see if maybe gunk came out of something but it hits something metal so I can't tell if it may be clogged.

Nah going straight in it feels like its hitting the block. No metal shaving are in there. I recently took out my timing chain guides and replaced the upper tensioner since it didn't move at all.
