I use Purolator Pure One filters on my DD, I was told they are the same filter as the Molbil 1. I pay about $5.00 each locally

well your car originally took a AC PF25, which has since been discontinued. In it's place you can use PF454 or go with one of the already mentioned after market brands.

Purolater part # Per-49. I have been selling them for 27 years and never had a problem with these filters. Purolater is the originator of the oil filter for cars. The brand name Purolater came from the words (Pure Oil Later).

WIX 57004R ...but it doesn't fit a stock engine (the wix filter is a HP6 equivalent) but it's wix all the way for me.

K&N. The 1" nut welded on the bottom makes removal very easy.
