Oil filters

[Bernie Benz]

I’m sure that you’ve wised up about those quick change oil shops, the  
source problem. They take a course on  how to strip and cross thread  
drain plugs, among other things.

No need to gut an oil filter, even Orange. The bypass valve does it  
for you. And they will last until they turn black.
