In fact, I would rather use one of these than a Purolator. I am weird like that. I also like the e-cores.



Did you ever see Ultra 8 Brand aka NIPPON ?

I had one and cut it open.. and they are made in CHINA and I was very impressed look how nice.

They sell them at NAPA... however as I said look at that.... very nice and it was like a TANK.... very strong. So not all CHINA stuff is bad.... I mean id rather it be made in USA. However look at all the stuff we buy each day that is made in CHINA.. I mean I was at wallymart and the only thing I could find that was made in USA was regular wooden No2 Pencils

why would you expect an entry level filter to do the job of a filter designed for extended drain intervals, most likely with synthetic oil?!? I would use driveworks filters for something like 1000-2000 mile 'flush' OCI's on my Jeep or motorcycles (similar to what I used Autolite commercial filters for on my Honda when I first got it; using Suzukin OEM filters on my GZ for several sequential short OCI's)
