Think I told you the wrong name for the filter I have on my car at the KK get together. Its TRASKO, not Tasco as I told you, sorry! Believe part # is TI-10S, 3/4 Thread, 3/4 Qt., thats what I have showing on my old order form. The refills are $9.95 now I see, use tobe cheaper. Check them out!!! Like I said, "you wouldn't believe all the crap, deposits, etc. that were it filter each and everytime I changed in on my Turbo Mazda", and I change the oil in it every 2000 miles!!!!!<ul><li><a href="http://www.trasko-usa.com">http://www.trasko-usa.com</a</li></ul>

I've used that also, on sale at BMP for something like $30.00 now. Used it on my 2001, before I switched to Trasko, it did lower my oil temp. by 15-20 degrees, but does nothing to help clean, filter, all the deposits, etc. out!! I actually am reinstalling OEM that dealer installed @ 5000 service when I take car in for service 10,000 serice. Dealer tells you to use only OEM, and I don't want a problem because I've switched to non-OEM filter!!
