Is anyone using them? Got one with my order today and am not sure if I should use it. Whats the concensus here?

Forget any previous comments I've made prior to this, and listen to my unbiased opinion based on personal experience...do not try to put that filter on your Car! The threads are wrong and will damage your oil cooler. The bypass valve is also the wrong pressure...just my two cents.

Hmmm, my second one just went on without a problem, but hearing that from Pat, perhaps this will be the last time...

I've had three of them, none of which have had the correct thread pitch. They thread on hard, and thread off even harder. That is how you destroy your oil cooler seals (engine pull). And besides, what good is filtering 10 microns when the bypass valve opens over 5psi sooner than the OEM filter? The micron rating is irrelevant when the oil is bypassing the filter element....
