Their filtering elements are for crap. Ever read any of the filter studies? There's a link in post #20 in this thread.

hello; Turbodave I never read the reports but I do have those magnets that you attach the filters to help keep the metals out(who knows if it does anything) but maybe I'll try something else.

K & N here,

Toilet Paper has a better filtering capacity than Fram. Just cut one apart and look.

Baldwin has a factory 80 miles from me and they can be found everywhere up here. Good Filters.

hello; Other than the fram 3980 do the other filters mentioned have the x-tra capacity?
thanks
