Well, first of all anything "definitive" will cause dissension <G>,
but TeriAnn Wakeman did a pretty comprehensive test of oil filters,
she tore a bunch of them apart and compared the innards ... the
clear winner in her mind ( which I respect) was the NAPA Gold 1516,
which is also the 51516 WIX, I am pretty sure the WIX is the
manufacturer, but I would not bet the farm on that. They are more
expensive, but "You get what you pay for" ...
These are what I use on Casper and I must say I am very satisfied.
