The return oil outlet hole is only about 1/16 " diameter. It seems like 98% of the engine oil is still going to bypass the filter and you're still left with a can full of dirty oil at oil change time. Any comments? | | |

They are better than nothing and if I can remeber correctly the owners manuals in the some of older cars states that the oil should be changed every 1000 miles. We drive our cars alot more miles today than they did back then and I quess those filters did the job. Use a good oil and change a few times a year depending on how much you plan to drive | | |
