RE: oil filter

["Peter Berrevoets" <peterb@mysysltd.com>]

If you have a turbo there is only one filter to use - OEM Bosch.

If you care about your car there is only one filter to use - OEM Bosch.

If you want to rebuild your engine and need an excuse - don't use the OEM
Bosch.

NO.  The Fram filters are CRAP.  The ones I've seen don't have the
retention valve, and are  flimsy compared to a quality filter.   The ONE
time I put a Fram filter in the '84 5KS the engine sounded like all the
lifters needed changing.   As for "working for your application", so
would a Hawaian Punch can and a roll of toilet paper if fitted properly.
