Can we please not go around the "oil filter quality" block again? The
list
has done it several times over the years...always turns into an
arguement,
and, finally, to a political bashing thread.. People will use whatever
brand
they want, or have used for years with no problems.
Rant off.

The ones I cut apart were from Autozone.
BTW Fram filters are not made in the USA anymore.
When you can't find American made products nor find a job; thank NAFTA.

Fram really shot themselves in the foot when they started
making a cheap filter for discount stores. . The competitors
jumped right on them by cutting those filters into and
comparing the famous frams to their better made product. I
would not now buy a fram even if they proved that their top
of the line was best.....................................MO

In the old days I would only use Fram filters. Saw an
article a while back
that basically confirmed your findings. No more
Fram's for me! Just like
Pennzoil, an inferior product with good marketing!!

If you cut a fram filter in half and compare it to "any"
other filter, you
will find that "any" other filter is better.
A few years ago I cut a fram, bosch, mobile 1, ac delco,
and stp in half.
It was laughable to see the lack of filtering material in
the fram.
The mobile 1 was the best with the bosch coming in second
and the stp filter
was better than the ac delco.
It is an easy way to find out if you are getting a good
filter or not.
Synthetic oil is so much better for your engine.
Makes it run cooler, much better lubricating and lasts
longer.
