: [MBZ] Oil Filter Cover metal Tube ?
Years ago, I found the same type piece of plastic protruding from the same

What is the tube for? What do the holes do?

If the filter was made in Asia, that might be the source of the debris. I
once bought oil filters made in India and found that if you bumped them on a

There is a ball-bearing check valve at the bottom which only allows oil to flow
