Still some good info in this thread, though... second link in post #17 is especially helpful:

Oil filter of choice

I've often wondered about the double Fram filters on older V12 Ferraris...

Yeah, Jake's filter expose sealed the deal for me.

Regarding ordering from PP, I ordered some parts on Thursday and had them by Saturday - that was awesome.

Now that's pure comedy gold right there!

A friend of mine used to run Fram oil filters on his Duster 340 years ago, until he cut one open to check for metal debris and found a cigarette butt inside of it. Never used one again.
