Sorry for posting this dead topic ya'll!!!!
Now I just have to decide what kind and weight to use with the FRAM oil filter. Many of you are running Mobil 1 Synthetic. My main concerns were oil leaks, engine wear, and the temperature of the engine(my engine runs on L all the time).

96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth " mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure

I don't think K&N makes one for our cars but you could probably go with a PureOne from purolator
Kharma is very real and she is one mean b!tch.

Sorry fellas, a lot of people I know use the FRAM oil filter and the like it(but they also use dino). I didnt think it would make much of a difference, I guess you learn something new everyday.
Now another question is where can I find a Purolator PureOne oil filter?
TIA

TIA Sears should have them they do by me. have you changed your oil on your zetec before??? if you haven't you will find it is MUCH easier with the K&N cause it has a nut on the end if the filter. I had broken 2 oil filter wrenches getting off the one that was on the car after I bought it. never had a problem with the K&N all I need is 1 scoket, 1 universial joint, and one ratchet.
