    Well, I'm gonna jump in here and tell my experiences and I'm sure I'm
gonna get some flack for it. I have used CANADAIN TIRE brand oil filters on
my '87 Westy for the past five years.  Oil has been 20W50 dino stuff up until
last year when I switched to Castrol Syntec.  Only times I ever saw my oil
light flicker at idle was when I was using 5W30 grade oil in the winter
months as was recommended to me when I first bought by Van.  I quickly leaned
to use the 20W50 grade ALL year long.  Never a problem since !
