oil filter change
Just an FYI...I to have the upside down filter on my 496....to avoid the mess when changing filters, just punch a small hole in the filter on the top (which is the bottom of the filter ) and the oil will drain out , just give it a few minutes then just unscrew and toss. Hope this helps

Bad-Habit I was told the difference in the filters is the micron rateing at which it filters.raceing filters would have a higher number or filter less.I run the napa raceing filter but never asked it's micron rateing.

actually the tough guard was improved and X2 was added to compete with the M1

those little triad fibers catch the dirt and dust well
the fiber is patented by Honeywell
Honeywell's Triad(TM) Fiber Technology. Triad, a patented, innovative shaped fiber technology, is manufactured with cross sections consisting of channels that can hold biocidal agents within air filtration media, enhancing the filter's ability to capture and kill infectious agents and fungi. These fungi include "toxic mold," which have been the focus of recent media coverage and numerous lawsuits.
"Previously, this technology was only used in aerospace and automotive applications.
the bad thing is the X2 cost a lot more
