Ahhhh it might be the end of YOUR story, but questions abound. What was the BRAND of that paper oil filter? How long was it since the filter was changed? There are many PAPER oil filters on the market (not to mention some defective lots of good ones). Inquiring minds want to know...
I ONCE used a FRAM paper oil filter in my XF, one year later it was all but destroyed in the filter housing.
Since then I used Mobil1 oil filters that LOOKED like paper and they performed flawlessly. I just bought a set of 4 MANN filters with an extremely desirable price each delivered with tax included.
Sometimes, I believe FLEECE denotes a ripoff (as in that guy got fleeced) but that's all up to those who wish to spend $ however they wish.
