I totally agree.  I've used synthetic oil since mid-1991 on my SE-R and the
minute the Mobil1 filters became available, they were on my car.  Now I
can't find them locally and I only have a few more left in my supply
cabinet.  Oh no!

Recently I found K&N filters at the neighborhood Checkers.  Yay!  Those are
now on my new back-up SE-R and will be on my daily terror as soon as I run
out of the Mobil1s.

I'll pay the price for the expensive oil filters with the idea that they
will lengthen the life of the engine, heck, that's why I started using
synthetic oil in the first place.
