Re: oil filters

[Steve Manning <stephenm@ix.netcom.com>]

Only problem I have w/Frams is no oil drainback valve - causes me lots of
lifter noise on cold start.  I've been using the Bosch filters (part #72150
for the 10v I5 atmo) because they're Bosch, they're often on sale locally
for <$5, they have the anti-drainback valve, and seem to work fine...and I
change oil/filter (Mobil 1) every 2500 miles......SLM
