I don't have a shop anymore and I drive my 55' often. I don't always have the time to crawl under it to change the oil. Especially with all of the other issues that crop up. Canister filter is better for sure but changing the oil every 3-4K miles means a lot more money and time spent. I've been in places where they didn't have the canister filter in stock. These old cars are a great hobby for sure and we really try to drive it on most road trips we take. Looking forward to getting out to MD and taking Old National Road to IL in the next month. Cheers
