Sumner,
On the way back from Providence, RI today, I bought a Puralator "Pure-One"
PL20195 and a new AC-Delco Premium filter that claims the best score...
96% on the industry test. That's the highest I have seen. I was looking
for a Mobil-1 M-209 but could not find one in stock. The AC and Mobil-1
are on the same level.
These are all called out for the Ford Taurus SHO engine as was reported
before.... and cross-reference to the Fram PH3600 or TG3600.
I am going to change oil for the first time since the rebuild (250+ miles)
and will use the AC-Delco filter.
