Oil filters

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

No, I was just giving you back some S--T for you comment about knowing  where 
they were made.  A long time ago I went to a Rapid Oil Change and  they 
changed the oil and put on a F**M filter, "Orange".  Left on a ski  trip in my old 
Van, got about 100 miles out of town and the filter literally  blew apart and 
did some damage to my motor, no oil gauge or light, heard the  knock.  
 
To make a long story short the warrantee from Rapid Oil and F**m were  
worthless and I never collected a dime.  I went as far as taking one of  there 
filters apart and it was a piece of junk compared to another brand I  bought and 
cut up to compare.  Had to buy a used V8 to put in my van and we  had to abort a 
great spring ski trip.
 
No more orange for me.  This happened around 1989 or 1990.
 
I suppose up could gut a filter and make it last forever.
 
Pete
