Are you guys aware that there’s a high efficiency oil filter available from Quicksilve?

    I was surprised to see the label, I didn’t know as well.

    Does that imply that I’m using low efficiency quicksilver filters today? Bummer.

    GM 454s and Motorcraft FL 1A are my combination. Being a Ford guy, have to at least have something non-GM 😆

    Are there benefits to a high efficiency oil filter? I feel like I've never seen that in the automotive realm either.

    @grouch0jr the label says:

    High performance synthetic media removes over 97% of oil contaminants versus 78% for conventional paper
    element filters.*

    Who knows if it’s a marketing gimmick thought 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Oh, I didn't see that claim right there on the side. I just looked up the high performance variant (35-858004Q), it's about $10 more. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

    That’s all I ever used on my boat. I always changed the oil in the fall no matter how many hours. The member that lived north of the boarder turned me on to those filters when I got my 280 back in 2014. Super knowledgeable guy. His name escapes me right now.

    No it wasn't Brian. It was @Michael T. He was great at doing research on different parts for our boats. He is a great asset to the forum.

    @Michael T still visits the forum but he doesn't post as much as he used to. Great guy and very knowledgeable.
