MOTOR OIL ?
After learning a certain oil change facility does not always change the oil filter when doing an oil change I went back to doing it myself. Things have changed on the motor oil shelf. So many choice...

Time to research engine oil filters again.
Wonder what the best/better filters spec is for particulate size they filter down to
IIRC, WIX (Napa Gold) and PureOne were good to >25 microns. Anyone have that data?
We were using WIX at work and had 2 of them leak; 1 very badly that almost took out the engine on the truck. We went back to Motorcraft and haven't had an issue since. I only use OEM on my vehicles (Fleetguard on the Ram, AC Delco on the Yukon, and Honda on the MDX.) I think the peace of mind is worth it for the little bit extra.
You are so true, I also use Fleetguard on my Ram, and the picture below should explain why.
The filter on top is the one the Ford dealer that I bought the truck from installed, the bottom is the Fleetguard Stratopore that I installed to replace it. notice the difference in the size of the supply holes.
