I have driven 1000″s of miles with no problems at all. NO weird noises. NO engine light or oil light. Changed oil one day and noticd how dry and clean oil filter was.. So what is the cause. I know that if oil isn’t getting around the engine it would of seized up by now. There is no indictication at all of anything wrong except the clean oil filter. Please need help Thanks

Was it just that there wasn’t any liquid oil left in the filter or does it look there never was any oil in it at all? Like the paper element is unused?
If it’s just that there wasn’t any liquid oil, it’s probably just that that particular filter had a bad anti-drainback valve that let the oil drain out of it when not running.
If, on the other hand, the filter is like new and never got wet with oil then the only thing I can think of is that some engines have a bypass valve that can bypass the filter circuit. You didn’t say what car you have so I can’t be more specific.
