Is it hard to find a good filter with open louvers?

[The motor guy]

So what filters DONT have that black soft glue?

The Mobil 1 filters are under the same M+H umbrella - they are made by Champ Labs under M+H. Some engineer though he had some good new glue, but apparently didn't test it out enough in real world conditions.

It's the exact same filter as the motorcraft LF-1A just like I said when I was looking at them.

I'll go with a fleetguard LF3487 that should get away from this mann hummel bs

UPDATE:
Just ordered 3 of them straight from cummins. Local dealer either couldn't or wouldn't order them.

These a good filters, but i did have a few that had metal slivers on the threads. Not sure what was up with that. My guess is the tooling they were using was dull and overdue to be changed out. These are supposed to be stratapore version too.

They are solid filters, run them on the boat, which I previously mentioned:

These days, people need to inspect the filter for any visible defects, and also clean the filter threads, base plate, etc of whatever they see on them they don't like. Some people even put a shop vac on the base plate hole and suck out any debris that could be inside the center tube. Yeah, a bunch of filter nuts on this site, lol.

What engine is that?

351W "GT40" in a ski boat.

351W "GT40" in a ski boat.

Is that the same engine in the Ford Shelby race car?

Wow, look at that intake manifold Must only be on the marine version, don't see it on the car version.

Honestly, no need to use a filter with Louvers in my opinion. Get a Premium Guard and call it a day.

Took the boat out this weekend after an oil change with the new fleetguard filter. I got a nice steady almost 40psi now after that oil change. I wonder if that motorcraft filter had something wrong with it. Either that are it's just not hot enough because it would only be around 10-15psi at hot idle before. I always just blamed the gauge. I'm just a tad less than 40 now at idle.

My vote is for ecore oil filter if available for your vehicle

If you don't know what the oil temperature is with an accurate oil temperature gauge, then it's hard to equate what's going on there.

Exactly!

I guess I'll find out when the outside temps get hotter.
