<VV> Look what I found when I changed the oil today

[Lon Anderson]

Jack,
If you're talking about the rubber seal, I've had it happen on "name brand" filters on other vehicles... namely Cheryl's old Jeep ('96 Grand Cherokee 4.0L, long since gone) and my old truck ('82 F150 302 still running), and they get (got?) their oil changed on a regular basis... so I wouldn't let one episode as such spoil the batch.
I have 2 of the Clark's filters, yet to use them, because I run FL1A Motorcraft filters on my '64 700 (I've got one of the old "spin-on-filter adapters" that I've had for almost 15 years, I think I got it from Ed Corson?)... along with quite a few PF4 filters...
Anyway, just saying, I wouldn't cast them off over that.
Later,
Lonzo

Not sure when I purchased this filter from Clarks, but the top ring was 
eparated from the body of the filter when I removed it today. The 
verall quality of the Clarks oil filter has been the subject of many 
revious posts that I have read. Some have been very positive. Some not 
o positive. I always wondered about this, since I have not had any 
roblems, and have been running them on my car since 2006. I'll be 
eeping this filter as a reminder (normally they get recycled along with 
he oil).
All that being said, I replaced it with a Wix today, and will not look back.
