I had to laugh at the video, he's got an oil filter cutter sitting there and he's using a grinder. great tool to have is an oil filter cutter. When the blade wears out a good hardware store will have a quality pipe cutter blade and it will last forever. I cut a lot of filters apart, not just my own but a lot of brands off of cars that came in for oil changes when I had my shop. No question about Wix and NAPA and the Fram were just like the video. For a decent filter for a daily driver Purolator and Carquest were very good. AC Delco used to be very good, but they cheaped out years back so I stay away from them.
The best protection I've used on a race motor is neodymium high temp magnets. Stick a couple on the filter, a few in the heads at the drain backs and a couple in the oil pan. I use them in the trans and diff too.
I buy my Wix from Filter 1, good price and free shipping on $50 or more order.
