Im not trying to start a pissing match about who knows more and who has been in the business longer. I obviously understand that a premium filter is going to be better than a cheapo. But that doesnt mean that K&N or Mobil1 is the BEST premium filter out there (that was my orriginal point, sorry if it didnt come accross that way).

One more question: I see that you are a retired service manager. What oil filter did you have your shop using on the customers cars?
