Default Oil filter question

Has anyone here tryed the Purolator Pure One PL20195 filter yet? I know that certain filters have had problems with the Anti-drainback valve not working right on the 3.8's and its kinda hit or miss between the different brands and sizes. I've tryed the Fram TG3600 and Motorcraft FL-400S and didn't have any problems with them, but I've always liked the PureOne filters and would like to use them if they work.

I was gonna try one until I saw that thread comparing all the different ones. The concensus was that the Motorcraft FL400S was the best one.

Your best bet is to search and read through those other threads, there are a ton of responses in them which should give you a good overview of how it is working out. So far the Mopar filter is still working well for me.

I was using the Purolator with good results but have switched to the Motorcraft because I can pick one up at Wally World while grocery shopping. Both have worked well for me, no drain back or start up lifter noise with either one.

I use the K&N filter and havent had issues the last one I noticed at 4000 miles it started to knock slightly but it was also -5 degrees outside but once the temp got back up to a more resonable 15 degrees it stopped.

X2 the motorcraft fl400s is the best. Why bother with the rest?
