your problem is probably not the oil or the filter. lifters/lash adjusters that bleed down can cause this and so can chain tensioners that bleed down.

Another Fram failure?
Not trying to stir the pot, but I thought this might substantiate the recommendations to use MC filters.

learn the hard way

I am searching these forums to try to substantiate the dealers claims that an aftermarket (Fram) filter came apart and plugged oil channels and caused dry start ups and scored the camshaft races. I cried BS but after reading this maybe not.
All I now is at 105k miles I need 2 new heads and cam assemblies and I have been a Fram user from day 1.
