I used vic oil filter before and i check the dipstick it is within the maximum level while in the asakashi it goes beyong the maximum. I also test the js asakashi filter by putting oil on it the have it positioned horizontally and the oil comes out the adbv. While in my old isuzu filter the oil doesn't come out. This is just for your reference with regards said brand. I haven't tested the vic filter coz it was immediately thrown away.
