I've always kind of thought the same way Mike in Orange felt, to a point.
I'm pretty religious about using "factory" brand filters on all my cars. I go to the Honda dealer for its filter, I pick up an AC Delco filter for my Chevy Van, Mazda dealer for our Miata, and usually a Mercedes dealer for the Crossfire. (But I have used Mann filters as well since I understand they make the factory filter). Still having a hard time finding an AMC dealer for my AMX oil filter though.
I've pretty much went along with the general rule here on the forum that the fleece filter is better than a paper one, but in the back of my mind, I can't help thinking, Isn't a layer of paper less pourous than a layer of fleece?
If that is so, then wouldn't a layer of paper capture more impurities than a layer of fleece.
