Just because you're a minor doesn't mean I can't take out a hit on you. Heck, there's probably a half a dozen people in here that would chip in for it.

Not a damn thing. They used to be a Frap (Orange Can-o-death) but are now Purolators. Use with confidence!
How do you know they are still Purolator? How do you know they didn't change again?
How do you know you are using a Purolator batch, and not some other?
Thats my point. You don't know for sure. If its the actual brand name, you can know for 99.9% certainty. If its a brand that changes its manufacturer every so often, you don't know for sure.

Mobil 1 filters are a little over-priced, and K&Ns are the same thing. Napa Gold and WIX filters are excellent filters for the $6 that I pay for them. But regular Napa filters are also good filters (For the price). For $2 I get a Napa ProSelect that has metal end caps, a good paper filter media, and a sturdy can.
The lower end NAPAs are lower-quality WIX filters. Better than FRAM, but I'd still go for the NAPA Gold (good quality WIX) or a WIX brand filter.

Purolators are also great filters. The $3 Classic/Premium Plus and the $6 Pure ONE filters are some of the best as filtering, but restrict a little on flow. Thats why I use the NAPA. Fram makes ****ty filters. You can get a much better filter for the money. That said, there are trucks on the road that have over 300,000 miles running Rotella and a Fram. But you get less for your money with a Fram.
FRAMs have also been know to cause major issues. Do they do it every time, or anywhere near? Of course not. But why risk it? Its a handful of bills more for a better filter.

I know because I can tell the difference between a Fram can and backplate and a Purolator can and backplate.

I'm not going to fight with you on this, because Frams are horrible filters. But like I said, there may be problems with Fraps, but Laramie once said that he had a WIX split on him one time. My dads boss has a 2004 Chevy 2500HD with the 6.0 LQ8 V8 in it with 200,000 miles. It has been beat all to hell and still runs good with a bit of power to spare (But it pings like a MOFO!!!). All he has ever used since day one is Pennzoil 10W-30 and Fram Ph-16 filters. Not saying that Fram is good, but some people dont know better. We will pay more for a filter because we do know better. Some people want the cheapest and get adequate filtration.
Been using Mobil Delvac 1 in my 318 for almost 2 years now. Heavy duty diesel engine synthetic. It works just fine. I'm actually an Amsoil guy but been getting the Delvac 1 at a good price at work.
