I'm sure this is totally my imagination, but it seems like my HHR revs a little more freely with the Purolator than it did with the Delco.

Just imagine how it would 'rev' with no filter at all.

Probably would feel like a TURBO.

As soon as I saw that some brands of filters had small bottom openings and some had large I had to investigate. Its what I do.

Your welcome to come and investigate mine every 3000 miles or so if you want.

I`ll even let you take the used oil with you for testing.

I haven`t read of anyone having a problem because of this yet...

I used to read all the car magazines and see this or that, that some mfg. had come up with, and FRAM has always had something different they would do to products, supposedly to improve on them, like the little squiggly thingy in the pix.
Maybe it is better, but who knows, I certainly don`t think you can feel oil flow in the seat of your pants (in rev`s that is) but I guess that`s what this site is about...
