You got it. I knew it would have to be another Canadian to recognize Macleods Varcon name. . It looked so clean and solid when I took the filter out that i took a chance and re-used the Varcon. Its a good strong looking filter with a metal case. Much like Fram.
I'm buying mostly Baldwin filters lately since they are the closest available.
