yes - I just edited my post as well - it must have been STP. I just cannot understand why someone would make an oil filter that ultimately would cost an owner their engine.

Because they are filled with cotton gin waste, after long debate and research in another thread here on the forum, it was found that there are a select few filters that do not spill dirt and cotton waste into the engine.
Can of worms indeed!

Accept where the Made In India was stamped the Purolator and STP Filter appeared to be the same. even the box was very similar.

Turkish Fram Filter
Hate to poke holes in the Turkish Fram Filters.
Here is one I pulled out of a engine I dragged home from PNP. This is out of a 85 300D. How long had it been last changed? good guess, but they should stay in one piece. After I got the engine home, I started going through it, got it steamed cleaned and so on. Pulled the filter out, and wow, a short filter. that`s a first. then looked in the bottom of the filter housing, and saw something else down there. Pulled out this short piece, and at first thought it was a 2 piece one. Then on closer examination realised it had come apart. Charlie

Your wife must love you a lot to let you put dirty diesel oil filters on her nice white towels.

Well those cotton gin filled Mahle and Purolator made in India run the OM616 with shoddy maintenance, infrequent oil change with sub par oil and yet the engines regularly run for 400000 miles before needing any work done. Amazing isn't it, that too when they are severely overloaded way beyond their capacity and driven in serious heat. Thats the average for OM616 in India.
