Part of me says these motors are going 300k without dicking with oil filters...but there's also part of me that thinks more filter pleats and/or material couldn't hurt and possibly raise my oil pressure a bit in a obviously worn engine.. The price is nearly the same as well. Is anyone here running them? I'm almost out of filters and its time to restock my shelf.

Ive read its using a `96 ford taurus V6 filter since its the exact same filter, just with a taller can and more actual filter in the filter. Oil passages are the same as well as filter construction and bypass valve. Some have claimed a toyota filter from a 4.0 will work as well and is bigger.
