Brad, I ran into this problem a month or so ago, and I had always used FRAM
filters, then I found out my Fram was leaking back into the crankcase. So
off to Pep Boys I went. They had a big display (it convinced me anyhow)
of a new line of oil filter. I cannot remember the name of it but it is a
really cool blue metallic color (looks trick) (John Suchak this is almost
the exact color of your spitfire, hint hint). Anyhow it was cut open next
to a Fram and another brand, The new filter must of had three times the
filter material, it was really packed in there, and had an anti-drain back
valve, along with a teflon treated seal for those that have a hard time
removing these boogers. I am sure that any Pepboys would know what you are
talking about, it is made by one of the major oil brands, and the name is
similar, I just cant remember which one. Sorry.
