Home Brew Engine Oil Filter Comparison White Paper
The article is dated but provokes thought about which oil filter brands should be avoided. Makes for an interesting read... http://www.austincc.edu/wkibbe/oilfilterstudy.htm

I see lots of incorrect information in it and lots of biased opinion too.
Also oil filters are hardly immune to the maximum profiteering and relabelling bonanza of all other products of late so this dated material is likely not very representative of the products on the shelf of today either
My filters all use a 3/4-16 inch thread. I use Mobil-1 and Fram Ultra filters and will save money elsewhere.
I do employ a Motorcraft FL-1a too which is not a high end filter, but does have a thread end bypass instead of a dome end bypass.
