oil filter on my v4 98 wrx has developed a odd buzz noise in the oil filter, defo filter. filter only done 20ish miles,

cars a new engine build, so new filter.

any1 come accross this, iv heard on other cars of filter baffles and bypass valves making noise. got a new rcm oil pump, so im confident thats ok. u can ear the oil passing via car stethescope like a doctor under it

any1 come accross this b4.

got another filter there. maybe worth taking car 2 work tommorro 30miles and fitting.

It could be the safer option, as to me someting buzzing means something loose so better to change the filter than risk another engine rebuild. Then have a good look at the filter even cut it up to see if something was loose.

had 2 take a look tonight, put new filter on, noise gone. i think the inners were damaged, rattled when shook. so happy again now. so paranoid lol.
