I used to only get baldwin filters. Almost ever compressor or pump skid, or just about any industrial lube scenario, including most heavy equipment have the red Baldwin Filter.

Fram Extra Guard

Quote:

Years ago Fram was a quality filter manufacturer. Now their standard filter (the radioactive-orange cans) is one of the worst out there. It features cardboard end caps for the filter element that are glued in place. The rubber anti-drainback valve seals against the cardboard and frequently leaks, causing dirty oil to drain back into the pan. The bypass valves are plastic and are sometimes not molded correctly, which allows them to leak all the time. The stamped-metal threaded end is weakly constructed and it has smaller and fewer oil inlet holes, which may restrict flow. I had one of these filters fail in my previous car. The filter element collapsed and bits of filter and glue were circulating through my system. The oil passage to the head became blocked and the head got so hot from oil starvation that it actually melted the vacuum lines connected to it as well as the wires near it.

Nothing a can of spray paint can't fix... How 'bout John Deere green instead?

I highly highly recomend the purolator pure one filter PL14610 for less than 6 dollars it is one of the finest available.

Which filters have you used? Is there room for the 3.25" long filters or does the FZ6 need the shorter 2.5" long filter? Thanks.

As indicated before I think that the 07+ model uses different filters than the 2004-06 model. Anyone knows the equivalents for 2004-06 model?
