I had to put my 2 cents in.
The enclosed is a study about oil filters and the quality of same. I was
surprised to see the level to which FRAM came out in this test. I have
since stopped buying them and switched to AC. I suppose if I could find the
Mobile 1 filters close to home I may use them.

Yeas ago I forgot about using the standard Spridget spin on filter and
looked for one that would be the biggest filter I could use taking into
consideration the mounting location which in my case used the standard
engine mounted spin on filter. The following is what I found.
Company Model # Size
8/5/96 Original Sprite screw on oil filter. Hastings
LF155 (2.95 X 3.38)
Exact Sprite replacement. AC #
