I don't think (concurring with mberns here) it matters what filter you use, as
long as you use a "major brand." The important thing is to change that oil
REGULARLY. I change my oil ALND filter every 3000 miles, PERIOD, and use the
best oil I can find, hopefully a CC/CD-rated oil.

Those little plastic oil bottles are nice, aren't they? Now, if they would
just make the necks a little longer!

I noticed something interesting in my mom's '86 Celebrity (V6). There is a
bundle of wires about an inch in diameter that passes under the oil filter,
coming in contact with about half the filter's circumference. This bundle can
not be relocated, and cuddles the filter quite snugly. My question is, does
the heat coming from the filter when hot oil is flowing through it pose any
threat to these wires?

Any personal replies may or may not be answered, given the unreliability of
my UUCP mailing system. Try, anyway, or post here.

Thanks in advance,
