What type of oil filter are you guys running on your 500HP motors? Should I stick with the Quicksilver brand or is there an automotive type that crosses over to fit?

Do yourself a favor and use a filter with a synthetic element. The cardboard crap that the old style filters use will not work if it gets any moisture in it. I would hope this would never happen but why not have the protection for the same or less money on a higher tech filter. Can you tell I don't like Fram?

Are the Fram Racing Filters Paper or synthetic inside? Never had one apart to look. I know you don't want to run a paper element because of the "water" factor.
