Truth there, and if someone can prove that the
10 buck filter is better I will certainly buy it.
Note I do not even think of whatever Fram is
trying to push these days. I do think they have
a filter with a (doubtless plastic) anti drainback
valve in it, but even have even declined them
for free on one occasion.
If ya come up with something let me know.
