Interesting Oil Change View

There are many good threads on here about oil filter products. Since there are many types, made only by three companies really, I found by reasearching that it is almost impossible to compare them. What you may, or may not find in a filter that has a quality you think is good, you will find that that filter will give up something else of quality in order to compete for sales. Some filters have all natural filters, some are synthetics, and some are blends.You just cannot compare them. A filter that weighs more may have more junk in it, or it just might have a thicker gauge steel body. More pleats mean nothing. As a matter of fact, all the material that makes up the pleats, can pass almost no oil at all. Change the oil, and change the filters often and you will have far less problems. When my personal cars hit about 350000 we just give them to the kids. They don't use oil, and run great. We gave our son our town and country and last week I pulled the valve cover just for fun. Spotless. It has 370K. Good old Wal-Mart oil. I ignore the engineers. Their job depends on you buying another car as soon as you pay for the one you have. Those of you with serious race cars have other methods, and my comments don't apply to these types of vehicles.
