Now that we are clear on the fact that you have a non-stock setup.....
We know that you are using a screw on filter. That doesn't fit my stock MG.
Is the Ford filter better than the MG canister filter? Increased flow and
volume must be accompanied by increased filtration capability. This is what
I am concerned with. So I guess the real question is ..."is it worth the
cost to change over to the screw on type filter?"
What is the Ford filter price?
