Does a synthetic filter (e.g. Fram Ultra Synthetic) hold up better than cellulose media when the filter gets little usage but remains submerged in oil for several years (i.e. vehicle storage)? Additionally, are the problems associated with paper endcaps (e.g. Fram Extra Guard) in this application?
Also, which oil is best for vehicle storage? Synthetic or Conventional? There appears to be some disagreement:

Are there any specific oils recommended for vehicle storage?
