When I got that I sent everything but the filter back. Like you said looked like to much of a pain for me to do in the campground. Looks good though. Just ordered a second filter and a cleaning kit, was supposed to be here a week ago and am still waiting.

He told me that most people don't even attach the clamp, I thought why even have it then.

About your order call Mike, they sent me the wrong size rubber coupler and he overnighted it, I had it by 9am the next day. Seems like a great guy to do business with.

So what ever happened with all of the testing on these filters. I am looking at putting the 6637 filter on my truck. I am wondering if this would be a better filter to put on instead. How did it end up working with the covers.

If you drive a good bit and dont want to spend $35 to $50 on a paper 6637 every time it needs changing, then this is the way to go.

I am glad I went with this setup, I use my truck to go to the desert/sand and the filter is doing great. I haven't done oil analysis but it sounds like it is as good or better than the paper one.

Why didn't it multi quote Blujay96's post?? I was responding to both quotes.
