Turbocharger Inspection
A turbocharger passing oil sends it straight through to the filter, and sticking VNT vanes starve the engine of the air it needs to burn cleanly. Both fill a filter quickly, and both are on the list of things worth checking while the filter is off. Checking them is work on the vehicle.
