Beware of these oil filters
I use Mobile 1 5-40 with NAPA Gold filter. The filters used to be an OEM MANN filter from Germany repackaged in a NAPA box.
Now they are garbage from China. Mine sucked in like an hourglass trying to get oil through the paper, the string wrap was unwinding, and the o-rings squashed flat after just a few months - maybe minutes.
They can still get the MANN filter but you have to special order it.
