I purchased my last case of oil filters from Kennedy their nice and red top quality. I purchase the fuel filters direct from Racor(Parker Hannifin), probably have 3 or 4 more changes left.
I've nevery heard about a shelf life for a filter. That's interesting. I've had no trouble, course a case of filters won't last 5 years for me unless I slow down on driving a bunch.
I wonder if Racors are going to be made in China also? Anybody know?
