A. The elements are no different the Home depot / Countless others everyone comes up with.
B. The horse has been beaten to death on many a Forum for many a motor.
C. This type of element clogs real fast, most are made of a material that cannot with stand the harshness of the petroleum based vapors.
D. If they are a fine metal they still clog.
E. There not deep enough and it will get sucked into the air path back into the engine.
F. You do not want them to drain back in there are contaminates suspended in the oil vapor that are harmful.


Find a drainable type with a filter membrane that can be cleaned with a heavy cleaner, oil under heat turns to a varnish based film, which over time will build up and harden rendering most elements useless....................
