I expected it to be a Fram filter when I started reading the first post.

that is pretty crapy, I would hope they would buy you a new motor.
how can they back up a part that has a catastrophic failure when used.
I am NEVER using a bosch oil filter EVER.

I'll stick with Motorcraft, although I have heard good things about WIX filters.

If that really is the case, submit a customer complaint. I review them everyday and legit claims get reimbursed. Also, i submitted my own years ago and splitfire paid dearly.

Submit the info thru the parts store you bought it from. They will give it muscle and force the claim thru. Be as level headed and honest as possible. Include as much pertinent detail as possible but nothing else like " this was goin in my 600HP stroker 347". The defective part should speak for itself.
