I have followed the discussion of oil filers or a few days. I have had other filters fail by blowing out the gasket next to the block. I have seen a number of aftermarket filters fail on VW Diesel Rabbits - back when I was selling them. I have NEVER seen an Amsoil filter fail. Never. Buy one, buy some of the majors (Fram, Delco, you name it...) and take them apart with a can opener. I have. You will never buy anything but an Amsoil filter again! Their filtration material is about a inch thick all around! The others have a single sheet (1/16" thick) of filter paper which looks like cardboard. Yes, this exercise in filter dismemberment will cost you about $15-$20. I am open to discussion on the merits of various synthetic oils - but when it comes to filters, NOTHING goes on my cars but Amsoil filters. At $7 to $9 each, they're a bargain. My advice is obvious. Forget the other filters. Get yours from Amsoil. I change them every 3K miles, and change oil about every 6K miles. My engines last a long, long time.
