PF1218 changed too! Argggg...

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Everybody knows the PF25 was replaced by the 454. So most of us others ran the PF1218 if we didn't already. Well between my last oil changes, I bought a new 1218 and it too has been revised! It's again smaller and the inlet is a little different.

Is everyone here going to continue to run the new 1218 or is there another which people here are moving onto that holds more oil?
