Steve, I too chose the Trasko, but for two different reasons.  First, I
wouldn't use toilet paper in anything I put on my car, and second, the
Trasko was a joint development with Subaru, and, frankly, I trust the
Japanese engineers and their opinions.  Their site sucks, but their
filter doesn't. Their US distributor put it up, and it needs some work.

The paper refill is definitely not TP, and their claims to its
uniqueness, particularly with bits not flaking off, sold me.  The
residual acids and crap used in institutional TP manufacture combined
with virtually no quality control of the product made this an easy
choice.

I'll be running dino oil for the first 3000 miles in my new MG and
Vanagon engines for break in purposes, and then switch to Red Line
20w-50 motor oil with testing every 10,000 miles or so.  At the price of
Red Line ($9.00/qt by the case with shipping) I don't want to change it
any more than necessary.

I like Red Line due to its higher quality synthetic turbine oil base
stock, and I believe it is superior to Mobil 1 in its lubrication
properties.  My long term success with their gear oils in the MG and
Vanagon has made me a real fan.

Someone sent in a link to great a site with comments about Red Line oils
vs. other products a while back.  I printed it out but didn't bookmark
it, can that person send it again?
