[Shotimes] Fram oil filter

[Mark Mallory]

I think it's a pretty safe bet that any contimnats will stay in the folds of
the filter.  Look at an air filter... even larger debris stays within the
filter folds until you physically separate the folds.  The more common
smaller particles will embed themselves in the filter and there is no
concern about them "falling" into the bypass stream.
