Even the ones used for only a short while clogged up and passed dirty oil thru some bypass valve. For this reason, on all my cars I install an oil filter block-off plate (avail- able at hot rod shops) and change my oil more frequently - 2000 miles. I haven't tried this on my car (it's too new to screw around with), but this man was one shrewd dude who knew where to spend his $. His cars seemed to be in good running order. Any opinions? ...!cbosgd!qusavax!mddc!john John Pletikapich
