[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 2036065, member: 19212"] Yeah, but there are always trade-offs. If the filter is too "good" it will restrict flow. It's also benificial to have a filter that doesn't come apart inside(*cough* fram *cough*), as well as one that is capable of sustaining flow and filtering out small particles at the same time. I read up on oil filters somewhere a while back, and believe it or not, the best two filters they found were, motorcraft(made by purolator) and ac delco. Go figure. Fram got the lowest marks. They pointed out that the motorcraft filters not made by purolator didn't do as good of a job, and proceeded to explain how to tell the difference. But, I have forgotten, it has something to do with the pattern of the holes. Anyway, I'm with Jason on this, I will likely stick with motorcraft filters for the forseeable future. I have also had great luck using Mobil-1 in all of my cars, although I haven't switched the cobra over yet. I was concerned about useing 30weight oil in a car that calls for 20 weight. And mobil-1 held my 5.0 together even after I lost 3/4's of my oil pressure. I was able to put another good 100 miles on the car before I parked it and pulled the motor for a rebuild. She still ran:). [/QUOTE]
