So if you say no to Fram you might want to reconsider the Mopar. They are also Purolators and Wixes. Mopar doesn't require anything special from this makers and just ends up painting them black and stamping a big M on them...

I agree that the Fram filters are junk, they are all cardboard and don't filter very well. I've seen cut up filters and WIX, Purolator, and K&N's filters were the best by far.

There are only a couple companies that actually make oil filters...


Plus if you want Mobil 1, you might as well buy Supertech from Wal-mart. Its the same stuff.
