That sounds like a BS story. It is physically impossible.The outside of an oil filter that you puncture with a screw driver is thin sheet metal, it is going to tear not shatter. Even if a chunk came off how is it going to pass through the engine. The oil pump pick up has a screen on it, in case it made it out of the inside of a filter. Those Chevy Monza with the V-8s were trash, a friend had one.
