To add to the "all oil filters are not created equal" thread, I have found
Wix to be the best. After changing the oil in my S-10, previously fitted
with a Fram filter and my Dad's Blazer, with a Wix filter, I cut them both
open and checked the elements. The Wix filter had about an extra foot of
filter material over my Fram! I guess I can still learn something from my
old man...8^)
The DPO of my '74 B taught me never to use the bargain brand oil filter. I
got the wrench on it, started to turn the canister and...crunch! The filter
collapsed! After spearing it with a screwdriver, I checked the element in
it...Very sparse...
