As for the brand of filter....I would much rather discuss the frequency and oil type and brand than who makes the filter. Change the oil, use the correct oil, and do the job well, if you end up using a different filter everytime, it is still far better than not doing the oil or doing it right.
Well, thats kind of what I thought. I change the oil every 3,000 miles. I Always use Shell Rotella T 15W40 (same oil has been used in this car, according to the maintenence book, since new), and I haven't ever had an oil pressure problem.

Thanks, Dave.
