Matt, I did a similar test while in engine shop at college.We cut open a
crapload of filters and compared them.Purolator is a pretty good filter,but
not nearly as good as the WIX gold series, which is on my truck right now.I
buy mine form napa, under the napa gold series name.Very reasonably priced
and an excellent filter.HTH,

I have been useing puroilater aalot latey. There was a guy (much like us).
He went and bought a bunch of name brand oil filters. He cut them open and
was able to see the filtering agent and how much it was and do alot to them.
I have lost the URL. He did a real good job. The best puroilater and WIX
filters ( NAPA And Big A sell these ) The worst Fram. I was dumbfounded when
I saw what Fram put in there filter. I will try and find the site tonight
and post it.
I have the 318 as well and started using the 30001 filter. It is a bigger
filter and can hold about 1/2 quart.
