Default Dry Start & M1-102

I'm getting dry start for a long time now. My list of maintenance is slowly decreasing and decided to tackle the dry start one.

Decided to try the Mobil1 oil filter (M1-102) I did read on the forum a few peoples reporting worse dry start but I can be a Thomas some time and decided to try it anyway.
Ho my god was I in for a bad product I got the OIL light every morning for the past 7 Days.

Here the amount of OIL that was in the filter today when I decided to replace it. Last time the JK was used prior to the replaced is around 17 hours

I've been using the Motorcraft FL400S for years - no startup noise at all since I switched.

That's weird. I tried that Motorctaft filter once and start up clak was worse. Have not used one since. I do use the NAPA platinum and that ones seems better then most. The mobile1 filter works well too. Different part number then that mentioned above.

The filter was so empty that I did not need to add oil to bring it back to full on the stick after de change.
