I may have been the one that posted a difficulty with an oil-filter. I've always used Purolator Pure 1's ($6.00) on all my vehicles. The last Pure 1 I installed on my SAAB Arc apparently had a defective anti-drainback valve. The anti-drainback valve in the oil-filter is to prevent the oil from draining out of the oil passages back into the oil pan after shutdown, thus avoiding a dry-start. Mine would clatter like crazy for 15 seconds or so. I installed a regular Purolator filter last time and it solved the dry start issue. I'm going to try another Pure 1 next oil change and see how it goes. And yes, my V-6 is noisy when cold. I drive it real easy the first 10 minutes to let it warm up. Then it seems quieter. I guess the V-6 will never sound like the engine in a Lexus or Acura, but it seems to be reliable except for that pesky cam-belt.
