[C320-list] Oil Filters

I agree with karl's comments.  The place where I get my WIX filters, Orange Engine has cut away filters so you can see the difference between how the two are constructed.  The WIX looks far superior to the Fram.

Pat,

If you think you opened a can of worms on synthetic oil, wait until you  
see the feedback on filters!!

Here is what I wrote awhile ago....

Also, a call or email to Mack Boring Co. might give you their take on the  
synthetic oil comments you have been receiving...
