What kind of oil filter do you guys use?
I'm sure Hastings filters are fine now. They were bought out in the nineties, and are part of the conglomerate that owns Purolator and Baldwin, among others.
I think I've posted this before, but if you find any old Hastings oil filters that are labeled "Depth -Type" or "Densite," throw them in the nearest trash can. They are packed with a cotton-like filtration media, through which oil, being a liquid, takes the path of least resistance, shortly leaving one with nearly unfiltered oil. Even the cheapest folded paper filter is far superior.
