So do you want the OEM Mitsu oil filter sitting in my garage that I offered you yesterday?

while you have the oil filter off see if the part that the oil filter is screwing on to is loose, if so tighten it up good. I have seen this on a couple cars lately i am not sure as to the cause if it is just vibration and heat or the added heat in the oiling system from the fact that they are modded

I was going to bring up the Wix as well. I actually cut one of each with the same mileage on it and found some key diferences from the mitsu…Wix has a silicone/steel anti drain back valve, and the oe has a completley rubber valve. Also the filter element was much thicker and more durable. The mitsu filter element was easily tearable and the wix had a very strong feel to it. The steel casing of the filter is a little bit thicker gauge than the OEM, and the inner casing has a spiral grove pressed into it for better oil circulation while the Mitsu was just perforated. Just some food for thought.

All my years of selling parts and fixing stuff I have found the top filters are Hastings, Wix, and believe it or not AC Delco
