But Chris they have the little grip section on the end of the filter. I don't use them on the Rover but I do use them in my car. They are a bit too spendy for the Rover. For the Rover I use STP filters.
I pay $4 and change for the Wix 51515 at Fleetpride. No idea if there's one near youBannon88 said:Is the NAPA cheaper?
It's like $6 for the Wix.

How about when the filter paper comes apart and clogs passages. Seen it!

ptschram said:Years ago, my mother owned a diesel garage. Her shop manager's brother drove in with a Chevy van that had never had the oil changed. They changed the oil...
A piece of sludge broke loose, clogged an oil passage, a rod bearing seized, the rod broke, hit the cam, busted the cam and broke the block up badly.
See what changing your oil will get you?
C'mawn Chris, like that couldn't have happened with any oil filter, including an OEM. bad parts make it past QC all the time, just ask Greg Smith!
Chris-St Louis said:Ah, the old...I never changed my oil, then as soon as I did...Kaplow...Story.
What're you paying there?Leslie said:I use the NAPA 1099 for the Series.... (canister filters aren't as easy to find...)

It has a 415psi burst as compared to 290psi of the 1515. I use the Caterpiller 0364464. It is the 1515 equivilent. Frams I wouldnt use them.
LOL probably not, I didn't look the sites that close.Leslie said:The Napa that I can see from my house has them at ~11 each. The shipping on that one from Amazon kills that $1.69 savings. Never heard of Baldwin.... (I've got a Cooper on my workshop shelf, and a Napa Gold.) $50 upfront then another $50/year to be a member, to save $16/case, doesn't make sense. W/o being a member, they come out ~9/filter, nut since the shipping's not free, I just don't think that I'd come out ahead going that way, not by enough to justify the hassle.....
Unless I'm missing something?
