[Roadsters] Oil filters

[Pat Horne]

I've tried the Deutsch D-601 filters on my 1600. They are not to be 
considered reliable. The construction of the mounting plate only allowed 
the filter to spin on about 3/4 of a turn, not nearly enough for safety! 
I tried several, from different stores and they were all alike. This was 
over 5 years ago, but I still won't consider using one on my engine.

My favorite filter is the Wix 51512 filter.

Peace,
Pat
