The Nismo oil filter actually sucks,Purolator pure one has more pleats in it than any of the OE ones.

Explain how the Veruspeed NISMO filter "sucks"?

Purolator has more media maybe, but that just hurts oil flow, and the media is homogenous while the Veruspeed uses a finer media near the core. Also, more media does not always = better filtration.

Go ahead and use them (Veruspeed) I've seen the light and heard it's song and I'm not going back.

I'm more a fan of less pressure drop across the filter on a high rpm engine than I am of 0.5% more filtration efficacy.

So what are you saying is better about Purolator than Veruspeed? Have you seen the inside of a Veruspeed filter? I have not, nor can I find a cut-away online.
