OK please don´t flame me or what ever you computer geeks do, I asked the question about Mobil 1 and have learned a lot, how ever I am very surprised there are no comments about the quality/brand of filters used. When I was in the biz there were lots of knock offs on filter brands. I cut apart filters and spread the contents out so customers could see what they were getting for their buck. So now a new question, what is the best brand of filter to use with a synthetic lubricant¿
