Which oil filter do you use?
There are many to choose from, so which one do you use and why?
As always, if yours is not listed post it and I will amend the poll to include it.

Re: Which oil filter do you use?
I use the Bosch 3401 based on an article by Marc H. in the current newsletter.

Re: Which oil filter do you use?
I have been using Mobil 1 filters for over three years with no chain rattle. In view of Marc's article I may try the Bosch the next time I change oil.

Re: Which oil filter do you use?
Was using Mobile, actually purchased a case of them If anyone wants to buy them I'll sell them cheap. Pm me. The reason for the change is poor performance
 . I did a test took of the filter let it sit over night all the oil drained out. To confirm this I cut open the and all the was gone . I had some cam chain rattle that I never had before.  New batch of filters? I put on the Bosch filter changed the oil. No rattle, higher oil pressure . I took off the filter did the same test oil remained in the filter as it was suppose to . Did some further reasearch I found the mobile1 filter is actually made by Champion. That explains that.... Use what you will as this is only my opinion and observations I made. Ray

Re: Which oil filter do you use?
I do not want to influence the poll but I must ask this question. For those of you using the Mobil 1 filter that are not having any chain rattle, why would you want to switch to Bosch?
Granted I also read the article by Marc, and while I respect his knowledge and advice, I have used a Mobil 1 without any problems. As I recall it was rated as one of the best for filtration with it's synthetic media.
