Oil Filter Study

Scott Harrison:
This is a dated article (updated 1/08) comparing oil filters.

Bottom line..stay away from Fram   :tickedoff:

Motorcraft & Purolator Premium Plus are best buys at $3  O0

WIX and Purolator Pure One for $5-$6 O0 

Mobil 1 is excellent but much more expensive. $10  8O

Rob Burton:
Thanks for the info Scott.  I knew about the problems with Fram filters back when we used to race stock cars.  They were known to blow engines through oil starvation.  I strictly use Amsoil synthetic oil and their filters.

Scott Harrison:
IMHO, Amsoil products aren't worth the extra $$$  unless you are going beyond the normal service intervals and have high mileage applications. Neither seem to apply to our Cobras.

Rob Burton:
I think it's a small investment when you're talking about replacing a $12,000-$15,000 engine. O0

Wade Chamberlain:
The $2 Supertech filters at Walmart are excellent filters too, believe it or not.  They're made by Champion Labs.  I usually use a good ol' Motorcraft FL1A for the Cobra.  The other heaps get either Supertech or Purolator Pure One depending on what I can find.
