Why Amsoil, of course! I have used M1 filters on my wifes Blazer, but AZ charges $12 for them now. Going to use a Super Tech, STP or AC Delco (I have all 3 in stock) on her next change with Amsoil 5W30.
When I changed my JD 2520 to Amsoil, with Amsoil filter, the filter plugged and bypass did not kick in giving me ZERO oil pressure. I went the rest of the year with a John Deere filter. I've got Pennzoil LL with a JD filter on it now.

I have been using Purolator Pure1's but next change after an Auto-RX clean & rinse cycle I will be trying AmsOil filters.

Amsoil filters; Amsoil S2K 0W30. Used to use M1 oil and filters, just like the Amsoil better.

I use AMSOIL products exclusively for my engine oiling system. (Haven't had a chance to switch Trans fluid, Gear oil, etc.)
I equate it to when I learned to paint a car. Use the same company's stuff. It's been tested, with their other products.
I trust a company who is dedicated to lubrication as a whole. AMSOIL makes oil, they make oil filters, they make By-Pass oil filtering systems, and make they're own By-Pass oil filters. And guess what........they are all good products. IMO

Audi 100 - oversized Amsoil SDF-15
Toyota - oversized Amsoil SDF-96 (the shorter version of the SDF-15)
2002 Audi TT roadster - the free MANN Longlife filters from the dealer (which are excellent, BTW)
If I need just a filter and don't feel like taking one off the shelf at a local account, I go to Autozone and buy a Mobil 1 filter....

Amsoil 10W30 and use the SDF 20, 29 57 and 36 (4 cars). On one engine with the 0W30 I use a K&N filter.
AMSOIL filters.
Amsoil buys their full-flow oil filters from Clarcor (Baldwin/Hastings). A company owned by Smilin' Al, who's also the owner of Amsoil, makes the air filters and the bypass filters.quote:

Al owns the company that makes the air filters and maybe bypass I believe, but although he may own shares of Clarcor I doubt he has a controlling interest in it. Clarcor via the Hastings plant makes the Amsoil oil filters
I would use Amsoil filters, but the lack of a silicon ADBV (my opinion) makes my truck tick with cold starts. Other than this, I believe that Amsoil filters are top notch.
I currently use the Motorcraft FL-820s and have no problems with ticking upon start-up.

I don't know where you're getting your filters from, but all the new amsoil sdf filters have a silicone adbv...
Mann W917 filter
Ford FL-1A
Amsoil oil filters are not a necessity, but I think they are necessary if you go 6-12K mile OCI's. I wouldn't use any other filter beyond 5K miles or so.

The way I understand it....the only difference between the SDF's and the baldwins, is that all the SDF's use the HPG filter media. Not all baldwin filters have it.
