Always check your filter..

This is just one more reason why I'm in love with the Toyota cartridge filter on my Corolla. No mystery in the can.

I suppose a good case can be made for ecores based on this finding...

Yeah, the holes go clear through. Including the media sometimes, apparently. I don't trust them that much.

I used to use Fram the most,at one time that was probably all I used.Never had any problems.This was one different cars.

I have used the Super Tech E-Core filters,the thing that I dont like about them is the cage,it needs more frame work in it to support the filter element.

I have also used a WIX made Parts Master filters,I dont like the filter element,it seems brittle.

I am using a Purolator right now.

I am getting leary of filters.It seems that the ones that were thought to be good have lapsed in quality.

^I actually wouldn't argue with you there, though I still regard Napa Gold as one of my favorites. It is only about $1-$2(most) for a Fram Extended Guard oil filter for my app. Then it gets into the higher priced($10+) crow.d

I agree. Give it a better cage, a silicon combination valve, slightly higher efficiency, and I'll buy them.

Why is it I always get the non-defective filters.......

I've never had a fail filter and I inspect them all.
