I've always been taught to only use SAAB filters because SAABs use a low pressure oil system and other filters are made to be used on several cars, like a Mercedes which have a high pressure system. So, the by-pass spring is stiffer on the generic filters and if they get plugged, the lower pressure SAAB system can't push the filter out of the way and your motor will starve for oil.
I know this is true for the four cylinder engines, but I'm not sure about the V-6. Anyone know?
