Nope, not unless you own a Viper or Neon.

If you do find a source let me know too.

contact tye from parts source.. 319-2340.. he can try and hook ya up.. If not.. why mobile 1?? i would look at fram double guard or K&N oil filters if you are using synthetic oil becuase they have a smaler micron filter than a regulat fram/qs/puorlator ect... if you are using mineral oil (regualr) just buy a fram filter

what's the difference between a good and bad oil filter? What qualities make a good and bad filter?

Fram is a nono.

There are differences in filters for sure and fram is at the bottom of the quality list.

Bosch
Mobil 1
STP are up there.

I wouldn't use anything with extra protection like the fram double guard, the additives they use will just solidify over time, not good.

Size and quantity of pores in the filter material mostly. Design of the filter itself plays a part as well.

Bosch are aviable though canadian tire or Parts source... Fram makes good oil filters and i have nver had a problem with them..

As for K&N.. only use with synthetic oils..

I bought a Bosch based on that article.. the contruction of the filter element itself looks far nicer. The end caps on the filter are rolled over the edges and not just a flat piece glued on. I change my oil every 3-4k anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter, but for the money (.75-1 dollar more) a Bosch will find it's way in there every time from now on! :thumbsup:

why only w/synthetic oils? I had to settle for the K&N filter since I couldn't find the mobil 1. I found the Bosch but only after buying the K&N from Mopac.

The K&N is 3X the price of the Bosch :rolleyes:
