What brand oilfilter is best? I have been using FRAM PH-3593A. I have heard that the Universal brand is made better. Seems to me that oil filters are all the same? Any comments? TIC TAC III

I've used Universal and the Fram

I prefer to use the Universal filter but have used the Fram on several occasions when I was in a pinch. I have a hunch that the Fram is inferior to the Universal. That isn't based on fact though. It's just a feeling that I have after talking with mechanics. Many of them don't like the quality of the Fram filters. I'm sure both filters are good though and I am comfortable using either one. I just prefer to get the Universal filter whenever it's convenient.

Clogged filter bypass

is a design feature that you may want to consider. Dirty oil is better than no oil at all.

I've been using Fram

But I change my oil and filter about every 50 hrs.
