Default Engine oil filter study

Hey guys, remember in early 2000, some of you were talking about a Engine Oil Filter study site but that site is out of business for quite a while. While I visited that site, I did take down what he found ( this guy took apart every oil filter to study how it was made) was good quality oil filter. Here they are :
--AC Delco Duraguard; Ultraguard Gold
-- Mobil 1
-- Motorcraft
--NAPA
--Purolator
--STP
--WIX

That's all folks.

Hi Erfan, I believe the oil filters are in alphabetical order, not from best to good

I was told "hastings" are very good.
Maybe the same as "wix" ??

Try PL 10241 (purolator) from any auto parts store.
My engine oil pressure light /oil level light never comes on with this filter.$5.99 for this part but it is worth it.
My warning light comes on with any other oil filter.

Blckstealth,

I dont think it is normal for your oil light to come on with any filter, It is not normal. Does your engine consume oil?
