Nitrouz · 04-28-2011, 03:01 PM

My first oil change since installing the stillen oil cooler. It comes with the crappy Fram PH3950 oil filter so I thought I'd get that changed. Searched around this forum as well as on the Fram website for cross reference filters with other brands. Therefore ordered the K&N HP-1005 oil filter as recommended by I believe kyle@stillen? (I could be wrong) as well as the fram website. Confidently I got the HP1005 and installed it. Then it started leaking all over the floor. Stupid me should have matched them up for sizing before installing... So now I have to put another Fram filter back on until the next oil change.

Just thought I'd give everyone the heads up since there are many running the stillen oil cooler. Don't trust the cross reference list and always physically check the sizing before changing filter brands!
