I use the Amsoil EaO oil filter, results have been very good.

I also use a regular Fram air filter. My silicon level came back at an 8 on my uoa from Blackstone. I replace it every 15k since it looks pretty dirty by then.

A Fram oil filter is another story..stay clear of those.

I think I'll go back to my M1 filters and oil!

Firstoff, who told you to use Purolator filters. Everyone knows you stick with the Champion Labs family which includes M1 and even the Walmart Supertech oil filters are made by Champion Labs.

There's nothing wrong with using Purolator oil filters. As far as the Champion Labs filters, the SuperTech oil filters are their low-end filters, while their M1 and K&N oil filters are their higher-end filters.

BTW, I don't have a problem with using SuperTech oil filters, but not "everyone" will agree that it's a good filter... some people have a hard time getting past the E-core.
