Subject:oil pressure-quaker state filters
From:Patrick Larsen

Hi all,
        I have read on numerous occasions that FRAM filters will cause low oil
pressure on our Vanagons. It appears that Quaker State filters have the
same problem, at least on my van. After a 1500 mile run to Vermont from
Nebraska with no oil pressure problems (ever), I did an oil change and
installed a Quaker State filter (the only one they had besides Fram). The
first hard freeway run after the change I experienced the terrifying
buzzer/light combo as I slowed down. Happened several times. Changed the
filter, problem disappeared.
        Anyone else have experience with these filters, good or bad?

Sincerely,
Pat 91gl-the prairie schooner
