SVTP Oil Filter Examinations Starting Back Up

Thanks for the link and info. :beer:
I was thinking the same thing.:beer:
Agree..It is a matter of preference whether you want to put one or not. By no means do I buy cheap oil or cheap filters on my MACH1...maybe crap for my DD Nissan Sentra but not for my Stang.
If I recall though, some car manufacturers use to put magnetic oil drain plugs on their cars from the factory. It is an old idea that has been around for a while. If some of the manufactures did it, their must be a reason. These manufacturers do NOT like to spend any kind of additional money if they do not have to. If they did it (on a much smaller level - on the drain plug) than it is good enough for me..just preference though..not forcing anyone or trying to persuade. I just put the info out there :beer:
Just keep this in mind... knowing how everything is based on money today and quality seems to take a back seat, would you want to take the word of the filter manufacture that all their filters are constructed with quality in mind?

I agree. I run Ford Racing fl-820 oil filter also
Wix here but have use Motorcraft and Bosch.
Great idea
Can't wait to see the results
Always use motorcraft filters and oil here...
Always use motorcraft filters and oil here...
I could buy almost six motorcraft filters for the price I payed for my Royal Purple filter. I also change oil ever 2k miles and use mobile 1 oil.
^ I agree this should be interesting. I use all Motorcraft, I used to use Amsoil filters. I've been selling and using Amsoil products for almost 20+ years. I stopped using Amsoil filters about 17 years ago because when I took the filter off at oil change time 3 out of 4 times the filter was empty. If I remember correctly it was failure of the anti-drainback valve. They gave me a few free filters the problem continued so I quit using them (I still have a couple). I thought Wix was making them for Amsoil at the time but I'm not sure. I'm sure by now this problem has been solved because I have many happy filter customers. I'm looking forward to the results, maybe I'll try the Amsoil filters again.
Subscribing. Great idea:rockon:
op:
Well you should look into Amsoil again because 17yrs ago compared to today's technology is a completely different world. The drain back valve is so huge on the new filters they produce its ridiculous in a good way. Amsoil really wants to corner the market in superiority with the lastest technology in their products so they are highly up on the totem pole. This is why I can't wait to see Amsoil, Mobil, and Motorcraft cut up. Those are the ones I use in that order depending on the situation.
It's taking a lot of time, but I'll keep working on it when I have the time.
We have waited this long, a little longer will not kill us :-D
How many filters total to you have ?
It's also put together better.
I would definitely like to see Amsoil Vs. Royal Purple Vs. Mobil 1 Vs. Motorcraft as those are my "Four Favorites" =]
You'll see it.
:rockon:
The Royal Purple and Mobil filters are one in the same. Both are built by Champion Labs. K&N as well. I'm curious if the Mobil and K&N filters received the new filter media as the RP filter. If not, then the RP filter is superior.
