Hello Bill and List,

I ran across this a few months ago, it might have even been on this list,
but I seem to remember it was the rx7 list. I will pass it on as fodder for
the oil filter wars.

Though it is more specific to the mopar performance crowd, I guess it now
has a german connection that might make it readable for the purist on this
list. Anyway, I use Purolator Pure One  oil filters on my vanagon with no
apparent problem. There are some interesting comments about Bosche filters.

Anyway, all disclaimers apply. Read and apply.
