Thanks to everyone who responded here. I've decided to pass on these "OE+" oil filters. Got to thinking...how much sense does it make to spend $20+ / gal on Delvac 1 oil only to skimp on the filter. I'll stick to the Bosch or equivalent sold on PartsShop. Since I already have 11 of these, the shelf life is of another concern.
longston -- I was LMAO about your comment about thinking someone didn't know what "OE" meant. LOL!!
