Ross,
The only time I have ever had the O-Ring blow out of a filter was due to a stuck relief valve in the pump & that happened in Perth on a 351c. My point is that 'YOU' know how cold it gets down my way- I tend to think your problem might be in the lines or filter housing ( Oil goes into the filter by way of the outer holes-exits by center hole ) rather than the filter itself.

Actually the cause might be those fittings going into the filter block, what is the bore of them on the small end ? No point in having -12 or -10 hose if you have fittings the equivalent of -6 or-8. All fittings should have same bore as hose & ends.
