Uhmmm...
Been using my Scotts filter for over a year now and it works great. Oh my god, it does actually take another five minutes to clean and reassemble the filter...please! It gives you the chance to let ALL the oil drain from your 12 and also inspect the filter for tiny debris and shavings that might go otherwise unnoticed. A good way to pick up on early bearing failure or worse! As for the o-ring, no wear and no tears noticed after seven oil changes. I change my oil every thousand miles so my filter has almost paid for itself in one year.
