You ask nonsensical questions and bring up threads from the graveyard, then you ask a question such as this, you seem to have a problem, and its not about oil filters.
Is it possible that improvements have been made in the last 24 months, but then it's possible they have cheapened their products, but who knows for sure, do we have spies in either manufacturer? Should we trust the spies? Life is full of questions, who has the answer? Something as simple as an oil filter where millions are sold every year and making a mountain out of a mole hill, wait maybe an ant hill.
