Default Re: oil

Yup. I read a study where a guy bough all brands of oil filters, then cut them open to see how they were made. Compared the type and amount of filter medium, the construction of the bypass valve - cardboard!, plastic, and metal...
anyway, Mobil1 & K&N were the best. Fram "regular" were the worst. The Fram "extra guard" was not as bad. Purolator was a good filter at less cost than the Mobil 1 or K&N.
