SVTP Oil Filter Examinations Starting Back Up

Thank you for that great info Troy. :beer:
if you find some one to hook you up at dealer /wholesale cost its less than the RP filter.
my local napa sells the Amsoil filters @ cost.
op:Hey guys, I'll put my two cents in just in case someone has the same problem I just had. All my years with stangs and Lightnings I have used motorcraft filters, but just had $100 worth of oil blow all over my shop floor because of two motorcraft filters spliting at the seam, right at start up on a brand new motor. Weird. Yes. I was freaked out that my new motor had problems already. So oil change number 3, I Stuck a fram filter on, not a problem. Started up, ran, reved. Im not sure if I will go back with a motorcraft filter after this.
I also was doing some research and found out Im not the first one to have this problem this year. My engine builder said he heard they changed the 820S's and made them different, shorter for more clearance, maybe a different place is making them. Just thought I would post what happen with two motorcraft filters in row.

It's due to the thin wall can used in the production of the 820. What do you expect for a $3.67 filter. :shrug:
IMO, you can also make a much better choice than FRAM. Wait to see the results of this thread, and you decide.

Subscribing. This should be a great test. :beer:
If you're popping Motorcraft filters you'll probably end up doing the same. If you need a better built filter, and it appears you do, and need it fast you should be able to pick up either a K&N or a Mobil 1 at just about any auto parts store.
sub'd. good info
Great idea for a thread! Here's a link to another oil filter study. After reading some of the comments here, I think some will find the results interesting. Given the study from the link, it appears Motorcraft filters are a Purolator One filter, which appear to be pretty good. The Napa Gold appears to be a WIX, which also is good for the most part. I use both. Of course, like others have said...stay away from Fram.

lets see if anything has changed in the last decade
Shady,
a LOT has change since that test was performed. Many of those filters have been updated with different materials and specification. It's no longer a valid source for selecting an oil filter.
It's going to be a while. This is a very time intensive process and time is a very limited commodity for me.
There's no way it's that old. Royal Purple and a few others of those filters we not even available then.
There are no Royal Purple filters in that link, and even has the old Amsoil filter. That test is at least 10 years old.
I must have been thinking of another one then.

hefty little cans, i've got two in my closet.
I recall reading that thread before, thanks. I'm curious what the filtration efficiency would be at 15 microns.
It is, I remember reading Russ Knize's study when I first got onto MiniMopar.net and Turbododge.com shortly after I bought my turbo dodge.. in 2001.
