<OOPS! Don't change oil on BMW Big Sixes too often, do you? Purolator CARTRIDGE filters.> The new European automobiles are moving back to cartridge filters, since it's generally accepted as being more "Green" or "environmentally friendly." I suppose this is true as you're not disposing as much steel as in a spin-on filter. But, it sure does feel like we are warping back to earlier decades! I remember when most of my Brit and German cars in the '50s and '60s had cartridge filters. I guess the next step is going back to using "oil bath" air filters!!! Don
