RE: [ST] pics of oil filter innards.

[Mike Montville <mjmontville@xxxxxxxxx>]

Over the last 27 months/31K mi., I've changed my 02 RSs' oil/filter
10 times at 3K mi. intervals, using Triumph or K&N filters (avg.
~$11-12).  That's $110-$120, plus 6% sales tax.  Our mileages
obviously vary here. ;)

Moreover, it's the convenience and claimed better filtration that
overrides the cost issue for me.
