Re: [Chrysler300] Oil filter quality?

[Russ Vaughan <Pacesetter300@xxxx>]

The minimopar.net study has been widely quoted. It's where I got most of my information. Don't know what happened to it as it was never updated. I was anxious to see the results of some of the filters that were to be examined. It was a credible study to me. As a result I now use Motorcraft FL-1A in my "beaters" and Amsoil or Mobil One filters in anything newer or rebuilt. Anyone who currently uses Fram oil filters should read that study. They are made for a price for the Wal-Marts and K-Marts of the world. How Wal-Mart sells the Motorcraft filter for about the same price (Under $3) is a mystery to me.
