YES, I remember all of the stories at the time about the UFI filter O-ring sealing defect problems. I believe they recalled them from their dealers.

You should probably toss them in the recycling and replace with Baldwin #B253 oil filters. Great quality filters.

That's what I've been using ever since the UFI problems and their big price
increases, after they fixed them.

Anyone remember back some 8-10 years ago, a few stories about UFI filters
for the 308 bursting, spraying oil throughout the engine compartment?

I have 2 such UFI oil filters in Ferrari factory boxes dated 24-04-98, which I
should sell but don't want to pass risk of the problem to an unsuspecting
buyer, if in fact it is a potential problem.


The information I seek is whether this was a genuine widespread problem
or a localized fluke. And whether it can be identified by datecode to a specific
lot of filters. So far I've searched the FerrariChat 2003 archives, Google, Dogpile
& Yahoo and found only 1 personal bursting story by Bill Badurski FCA chairman
- he claims sealing gasket let go due to a production problem since corrected.
