Disappointed in the TDR 71 Oil Filter review

[ILIANBG]

I've always enjoyed reading anything from AH64ID. We're lucky to have people like him on this site. Please, keep posting.
Thank you again!

AH64ID, what oil do you use, and how often do you change it?

AH64ID,
The filters are Wix (or NAPA) 533407 for the water separator (it has a manual drain valve) and 3674 for a rather tall 3 micron final.
These are frame mounted on a set of bases I set up myself. I thought they were doing OK because I periodically open the original filter which is still mounted in it's original location and it stays clean as a whistle, with no sign of water. The Wix, or Napa (depending on which one the fleet supplier sent me), does collect water and needs to be drained occasionally but none of that ever gets through to the original Dodge filter.
The drain valve is plastic and I can see why that might concern someone. Guess I'll look for an alternate.
Thanks

I would consider a Baldwin BF1250 of BF1212 for the f/w sep and a Donaldson P551313 for the 3um filter.

I use Amsoil AME and change it every Septemberish, which is about 10-12K miles.
