Eric and Listers. I found that synthetic fiber oil filters do the best job, therefore I used WIX on my boat engines and I use large canister WIX in my cars and motorcycles. At the same time I use AMSoil 100% synthetic which is "THE" best oil to use on gas and diesel engines, keeps the engine clean and I mean clean. Recently I rebuild two of my engines. One that had since new with 270 thousand Kms treated always as far as I can remember with synthetic oil, and I one that I bought as spare. The one with synthetic AMSoil was as clean as new.
Now that being said in an really old engine with a lot of contamination synthetic oil will clean the buildup and might develop seal leaks.

It is a really good article for learning what makes a good oil filter and why Fram is widely considered junk. After reading this article I started cutting open my used oil filters to make sure they were "built right". As a result I have a lot of confidence in the build quality of Yanmar (OEM) filters. http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/engine/129-1202-oil-filter-comparison-fodd er/ With the wix and fram cross referance websites you can find a lot of manufacturer specs. From that you can also find larger filters (diameter x length ~ media surface area) that will fit your application. I have found filters for both my cars that are 25-50% larger allowing for more captured contaminants before the bypass valve starts to open.

In the days I changed the filter in my car myself, I always used Fram because it was easy to find, but I remember from this list that was not a good make. Suggestions?
