Re: oil filters



     Sounds like it is also more restrictive.  The Fram does a fine job.  
     The key is to change your oil and filter once in a while:)

Just came back from the dealership to buy a part.  At the parts counter, 
the guy in charge had three oil filters dismantled and on display, when I 
asked him why, he showed me... he had a Fram filter, a Canadian Tire 
filter (aka Walmart), and then an Autobahn filter.  The Autobahn had 
*twice* the filter paper, the pressure valve, and weighed twice as much.  
It also cost 3 times the price of the others, but $18 is a small price to 
pay.
