It's nice to see them in good condition. Hopefully one day they improve fully, but, until that day I will never use one again if I can avoid it. MC FL-1A is as close to Purolator I get on my old Ford trucks. They don't seem to be having the problems all the others are having and I like that they still use holes in the center tube, makes me feel better about running 15W-40 and 20W-50 on some of my old Ford V8's.
