Some fellow did his own research paper on flathead oil filters years ago. The best filters were AC Delco, Purolator, and Wix.
Lots of info here. Well worth looking at.

Then you wouldn't use quite a few spinons' as many have cardboard end caps .

Doesn't have any hindrance to quality.

Question Re: Which Oil Filter.....

Really.....spinions??????



"Spinons are one of three quasiparticles, along with holons and orbitons, that electrons in solids are able to split into during the process of spin–charge separation, when extremely tightly confined at temperatures close to absolute zero."
