Can we please not go around the "oil filter quality" block again? The list has done it several times over the years...always turns into an arguement, and, finally, to a political bashing thread.. People will use whatever brand they want, or have used for years with no problems.

The competitors jumped right on them by cutting those filters into and comparing the famous frams to their better made product. I would not now buy a fram even if they proved that their top of the line was best.....................................MO {Steve Mick} http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/mick64.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Herb" <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 11:59 PM Subject: Re: What oil?

Rotella T? If you cut a fram filter in half and compare it to "any" other filter, you will find that "any" other filter is better. A few years ago I cut a fram, bosch, mobile 1, ac delco, and stp in half. It was laughable to see the lack of filtering material in the fram. The mobile 1 was the best with the bosch coming in second and the stp filter was better than the ac delco. It is an easy way to find out if you are getting a good filter or not. Synthetic oil is so much better for your engine. Makes it run cooler, much better lubricating and lasts longer.
