Re: Filter Recommendations
As far as fuel/water filter, kinda depends on what kind of filter housing is there now. Probably best to use what is there now.

Time flies as that tear down thing you refer to goes back probably 15-20 years and like they say, don't belive everything you read on the internet.
Fram is the largest filter manufacturer in the world, no way can they produce stuff that would be inferior and wreck an engine. They are all built largely on the same principle. Can, filter media and a bypass

Re: Filter Recommendations
This is a very long video, definitely not scientific but does give you a really good idea of what is inside many of the brands. Oddly enough the end results were the best filters were Fram Ultra Synthetics and Wix Synthetic but this is just based on materials and construction.
