The Purolator L25277 and NAPA 7078 are both re-boxed Mann Fleece Filters - those are what you should be buying. Note the difference, Fleece on the left, paper on the right.
But again, I URGE everyone reading this post to save a few dollars and buy the cheapest paper filter they can buy. Don't be stupid like me and buy a quality part to stand in the 80-100 psi-at-cold-idle flow of oil thru your car's engine.

You can do ever better than that, remember the filter that you filled yourself with a toilet roll? You can probably buy a dozen or more 'filters' at Costco for $10.
I wonder what is better one ply, two ply, or even the quilted ones?
