Re: [BaadAssGremlins] best oil filter for a 390? (Oil Filter study)

[Ed Veneck <edveneck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check out this link for a study on oil filters.

I not will not ever use a Fram filter.  I have cut a
few open and have not liked what I found, compared to
others.  This is my personal choice, and I'm sure
others will disagree.  My filter of choice has always
been Wix's, or Purolator.
