I am trying out the mobil one filter, as they didnt have K&N or ACDelco in the correct size.
EDIT: I reckon it cant be any worse than frams?

Guys, here's a study on oil filters from a while back. They guy cut apart a wide array of filters to study what's inside. I did likewise with several and found that FRAM filters SUCK! I wouldn't put one on my lawmower.

I usually use the K&N oil filter (#2006), but if they're out of them at the local auto parts store, I just run down to Wal-Mart and pick up a Supertech filter... those are actually pretty good filters, and damn cheap ($1.97).
