N14 blew oil filter o-ring and ran it 6 gal low on oil

I think this would be a great time to have an oil sample tested. I'm sure others will chime in and give some real useful help.

 

Watch oil pressure and go from there .. if motor had no bearing issues before you most likely still don’t .. first damage would likely be a bearing and if oil pressure didn’t drop I’d think it’s still okay

 

So lost little over half oil in engine. Is or was oil pressure ok when you drove it after the o- ring trouble? If oil pressure is the same, I would probably run it. But thats just me. Also any new noise ? Some of these filters made cheap. Fuel or oil, can't remember, but went to put it on and it had no threads.

 

You still had oil in the bottom of oil pan where oil pump sucks oil from but if you ran it for along enough time it could have over heated what little oil you had in oil pan, iam with every one to do a oil sample at 5000 mi T/A shop did a oil change and same thing happen to my 350 ntc but i had only 2 gal of oil in side box, landstar driver stopped he had 3gal and he followed me to next T/stop and I replaced his oil and got a motor wash and it went on for years till a frez. plug rusted out and i pulled 1 head then just did a inframe and black pant job in buddys shop he was mad that his bulbs in roof were black so I used little bit of thinner that was left in gal. can to clean them, I think you found the leak in time but cross your fingers for the next 5 or 6000 mi till you send off oil sample you can buy oil sample kit at truck pro parts or any truck parts store?

 

Run it. But I’d sample it

 

Like they said.
I had a few problems with filters drooling tightened hand tight, which I had done for many years. Always wiped the base with a wrag being sure it was clean, as I was taught to do. Now I use a band wrench, without a ratchet, and snug them just a bit more. There are marks and directions on most filters any more and we tried that. Some guys just really messed that up. That is just what is working for us.
Also had repeated leaks one time. We bought filters by the case and ended up they had the wrong end for the application. Center was bottoming before the gasket.
Sounds like you were johnny on the spot and shut her down. I would not be worried about about it to much but look the filter base and threads over real good.
