I would think any suspended "gunk" would end up caught in oil filter 🙃

I have no clue how to remove an oil filter full of oil on the LT-5 😜

That is a BIG Advantage of the LT-5 over most any other engine (changing an empty oil filter with no mess) having a vertical and upside down oil filter 👍👍

As long as you give the oil filter time to drain back 👍

Regarding Oil Filter Drain Back issues.........and.....

For those of us who fire up the LT-5s (and assume sufficient crank shaft and rod lubrication exists) no matter if they have been stored/sitting for several months...........See Long Sit Before Starting.....by A26B (Jerry).
