    Did your purchase come with the gaskets included or was that an additional purchase. looks like a pretty good price for 10+gaskets.
    Also on a related note do your research on the micron ratings and number of pleats on your oil filter before writing any filter off. many forums across the country will claim you need to run a "High Performance Filter" Which in most manufactures cases raises the minimum particle size a filter will pickup to increase the flow rate of oil through the engine. Just some food for thought from someone who has worked for a major filter company and is in the racing industry.

    Dead thread, but wanted to share for others. 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport 45,000 miles, similar looking metals on dip stick, sent oil in to Blackstone and was told it’s normal wear.

    Because someone cut one open a few years ago and showed the cheaper construction compared to a wix.

    The problem with that is, just because it's made cheaper doesn't mean it'll do the job any worse.

    I'm kinda liking that plastic top. Might seal better and if not it'll ship better.

    I wouldn't worry about it on first change.

    You can look at the thread in my signature for all the tests Blackstone has done on mine. I never did anything but 10k changes.

    going to be fun!
    If you notice that the lines are on the outer edge of the oil and this is caused when the dipstick rubs against the sides of the aluminum dipstick tube when pulling the dipstick in and out....
