Motorcraft is another commonly counterfeited product line, there are some ifs about the failures. The Boss is not subject to glue or tearing issues. I have no trouble with the One or Red either, but I am influenced by the pictures too, valid or not. You can also use the Toyota Denso filters...

As long as you think you know by talking to Angela, good for you. I think everyone realizes what people say is not knowing something, it’s hearsay. In any case making it they did something intentional is not right. When I asked them they were clueless about the website. I stick to not knowing...

I avoid Walmart third party sellers just like I try to do at Amazon. Walmart is trying to compete, like all the other big retailers, with Amazon. Walmart retail still sources from the manufacturer. Amazon is really the force behind all this cheating imo.

No one was caught doing anything. The website was different than what they had on file. Too bad they sent it out, other companies don’t. You or anyone else don’t know for sure which numbers are correct. It’s opinion you present as fact. If I did that it is ww3 on me. I preface with “I think” or...

Good choice hope the Baldwins work well and are still made in USA, probably are if people keep buying them and not buying PGI.

It would be good to explain it all out for the whole system for us regular folks. I see there is build up of oil pressure across the filter media due to restriction of the fibers. Then it passes into the open center tube, restriction event over. Then further down there are more restrictions like...

It would be useful to know the date code. Not good performance from filter, but oil looks good. There is a piece of glue loose in the center tube. They should use the Boss glue, wonder why they know so little about their oil filters. Because administrators often know little about what is going...

Must be thinking synthetic is slippery and impervious to the oil while non synthetic is like string, which absorbs oil so restricts more. Sort of exaggeration based on the think system, but sounds sort of true. For humor, not criticizing:

That’s seems like a mystery, losing shipments, or in transit, then sending them to auction.

Great info, here is one more that I think makes the best oil filter for a car. If cellulose, also retains an amount of water.

That’s interesting, why Honda would ask Fram to make the less efficient media rather than using stock media. What does Honda know more? Toyota, apparenty the same, Subaru Roki, apparently the same. Virtually down the line manufacturers shy away from the highly touted medias.

Out of the dozen or so oil filters in a box from various makes, this last time I used the 90915-yzzn1 by Denso. I don’t know if it’s an optical illusion but the baseplate here is convex on the inside while the others have a slightly concave depression. The media is a darker yellow than Toyota...

WCW knew the they changed it to 46. No need to know more for his video. Whether he knows the back story, you don’t know. The reason it was changed being the office staff who answers emails and phones send out 46. Now they don’t send out anything, and the spec sheets still don’t match the other...

The XG2 I bought still had the great stainless wire backing, but media was the new stuff. Probably because this filter gets used on hard running bigger engines, trucks, etc. I posted pics of it. So what’s wrong with that? Nothing, it’s as good as the old XG2, except bypass leakage and poor...

Carbon, or called soot. The Liquid Moly cleaner did a good job. The carbon was piled toward the dome end more. Ford used to like the bypass at the thread end, not sure they do it now. I can see why in extremes like this one. A lesser capacity filter would have been blocked I am guessing.

The response to the op was about finding new Boss filters, as the post asked if they were still made. Yes they are still made. My opinion is that synthetic media would last 5 years, easily. So his older Boss Advance filters should be ok. My post had nothing to do with being for or against a...

Me: “Boss is widely available and still made. I got one from Amazon and it had a fresh date code. Boss is a filter I would use if it had an old date, like 5 years. Full synthetic media.” It isn’t that hard to follow.

I can’t comment on the best oil filter as the experts have already responded, but the Boss is widely available and still made. I got one from Amazon and it had a fresh date code. Boss is a filter I would use if it had an old date, like 5 years. Full synthetic media. You want the best expert and...

That’s nice tight end cap, good thing it has nubs.

So the issue is the inlet and outlet oil are fighting at the thread? The threads aren’t tapered like a pipe thread but it seems to me the effect is the same. The baseplate is being pulled down with the base gasket touching. The amount of force is considerable on the base thread grooves against...
