I don't think that the oil in the filter is kept under pressure. I've been using bosch filters lately. the local parts store sells them for less than a $4! I don;'t know much about them, but given Bosch's reputation I think they must be ok/good! ------------------------------------------------------ Jason Douglas MTS Dept G057 MITRE Corporation
