Oil filter of choice

Brandon, I also agree with you on not making sense to use an inexpensive filter. Just doesn't sound reasonable to spend 80 - 90 bucks on oil and then filter

Brandon,
I also agree with you on not making sense to use an inexpensive filter. Just doesn't sound reasonable to spend 80 - 90 bucks on oil and then filter it through something that's not going to do a good job.
From previous experience, along with seeing people who actually cut filters open, I can tell you that the K&N has more filtering material than Fram.
On another note, it's always interesting to see how the filters are made. I went with the Purolator Pure One. I don't abuse my car and always wait for the oil temp to get up around 180 before I start heaving revving.
Thanks for all of the dialogue on this topic. And am going to pull the Purolator apart next Fall when I change my oil again.
Pat

royal purple makes a great filter. it is made of synthetic material as well as the housing is thick. you can tell just by picking it up compared to others it is made well. if you cut it open you can really see what your paying for. I wish I had taken pics of when I did this but after seeing the construction i will never buy another brand especially running synthetic oil.
