I use Purolator filters. Never heard of these Biltemas, what are they called here in the states?

The I'm surprised they rated the Champion number one considering it went bypass faster than both "inferior" filters. I'd rather it allow some of the small particles through then allow all oil through.

another great link with more info thanks O. he wasnt too impressed with fram. he also said the wix/napa have shallow pleats so does that cause noticeable less filtering as opposed to deep pleats? he didnt say...
