Generally, from the forum here, WIX, Purolator-"Pure One" Mobil 1, are about the best. I like Mobil 1 and have used it on my truck since day one. The fact that they use polyester instead of paper is a real plus. Mobil 1 has a Quart size filter #M1-301 for the same price as the 201 (pint) size

ps i took some auto classes this previous semester at the community college. teacher there said to never by fram. i forget what all he said but he said they cut one open one time and all i can remember is that they are "s**t"
Years ago, I used to be a die hard Fram fanatic. When I started reading independant studiesof filters on the internet, and saw with my own eyes, cut open filters, I changed my loyalty. Now, I will use nothing but Wix (Napa Gold/Carquest ?) filters. There IS a difference in filters!

+1. I always use Mobile 1 filters. I almost grabbed a Fram last oil change, I'm glad I asked the lady behind the counter to see if she had some Mobile's in the back and they did. I also like that Mobile 1 uses polyester...it matches my pants.

Now, are we speaking about the regular FRAM, or all of the Fram's, including the Tough Guard and others?
Let's talk about price for a second. It's my understanding that Mobil 1 goes for about $10.99, and K&N goes for about $12.99.
what's the Napa Gold going for? And how does it compare with the above two?

I think in the reserch it shows that they all use paper end caps for the cartridge. That makes the anti drain back valve almost useless. He showed that they were a little better than the 'extra guard' but still not as good as Wix or even champion.
