Not sure why I'm taking the time to reply to this. Not sure how many of you are experts as to identifying a good filter from a bad one. Sure one can cut a filter and see whats inside of it. I wonder how many of you have ever been to a filter manufacturing plant to have them explain why there filter is better than joe blows. How many of you actually know what GM, Ford, Case, JD, or any other company put out for specs to be used on there equipment. I sold Fram filters for years to a company running heavy equipment in a open pit gold mine. Out of the years they never once lost a piece of equipment do to a Fram filter. The company I worked for then decided to make Fram their secondary filter and switched to Baldwin because they had a bigger range of filters. Once I started selling the Baldwin line I had more complaints from my customers about filters leaking than I ever did with Fram. I had Baldwin reps out regular finding out why there filters were always leaking. Seems whatever filter I was selling I was always butting heads with Donaldson. Donaldson was the biggest oem filter company making for Cat. Seemed like most contractors liked Cat equipment and once Cat made a change in a filter Donaldson couldn't offer it to anyone else till another filter compamy offered it as a after market filter. I also sold Donaldson for over five years and never have had a complaint. As any filter on the market they meet all the specs required to do the job. For most people on this site if you change oil regularly any filter will work. Heck I even have a 47 Case D that doesn't even have an oil filter on it. So if your pocket book is big enough that you want to buy the Napa Gold, Wix,Carquest, or which ever brand thats your option. Don't suppose anyones noticed the difference in the paper in the filters. Maybe one should get the specs on the paper used in the different brands. My .01 cents worth PS: I wonder if the brand of oil we use has anything to do with filter filtration???
