Sure. Hold the keyboard a little closer to the engine so I can see what's wrong.

We need more info. We know it's a six cylinder. Which one? And which year? 300 or 4.2? Usually when the oil filter blows up, the pressure relief valve in the oil pump is stuck. Or maybe you just got a defective filter.

You may have better luck in the engine section of this forum if you don't have any better luck here. I have no idea what would have caused it. These guys like to joke around too, so don't take it to heart.

That has to be one of the better ones I have seen. Goes right along with the blonde secretary putting her monitor on the photocopy machine screen side down so she can make copies of her Word document!

Nanners for Quintin!

Did you actually see the split?? If so POST PICS!! If not, check that when you last changed it, you never left the old oil seal ring stuck on the mount. I've had that happen on more than one accassion.

I've had a Terdonator split in two before, yes it increased airflow that much that the air resistance split it in two.

Years ago I had a turd that felt like it split me in two. I now have an appreciation for women giving natural child birth.

Did the filter actually split open, or blow away from the mounting??

I don't think Quintin's reply will work here.
