    STP filter. He calls the piece of metal piece a spring, but that will fatigue if you change oil on regular bases.

    I use our kinda nameless filters. I'll cut one open n show ya on Monday. They work decent as far as I can tell. My motor started out nasty when I got it. Now the oil comes out pretty clean.

    Amsoil filters are expensive. About 14 bucks ea. I use WIX. I buy a case at a time, which breaks the cost down to 5 bucks a filter. The way I look at it..... I am hard on a motor.... really hard on a motor. My 90 Chevy van has a 350 motor has over 300000 miles. It weighs with equipment 7500lbs. I drive WOT all the time, so help me God. But I've never had an issue when using amsoil. Yea its not cheap.... but you get what you pay for. Heres the amsoil oil filter.

    You'll be surprised how many people don't know how **** those Fram filters really are. People just don't listen.
    Hell, I told you guys that already!
    Oil Filters Revealed - MiniMopar Resources

    last oil change, My friend and I managed to rip apart the Purolator PureONE PL30001... and dayumn, does it do work. the inlet side of the pleats.. caught every single bit of metal.... little specks. the opposite side? omg, FILTERED like no other. amazing stuff.


    If I was rich, I'd go with Amsoil.
    Since I'm not rich, the BEST I can get would be Pennzoil and Purolator PureONE's.
