Who cares what they say on here and fram has been around longer than all of us . Ive always used fram and all my family and friends use fram also.
You're totally right. That totally reprimands the fact that their filters are cardboard

I use what ever filter I happen to have in the shed and mobil 1 synthetic. Im pretty sure once you use synthetic, you have to always use it.

Whatever vinyls are for ones who want to be different and not look like everyone else plus vinyl does well at carshows. Plus fram is pretty popular more so than other oil filters. Fram works for me . If your mocking me which I think you are ad.

Oil comparison is JUNK!!! Debunked months ago as it has no effect on how it will do lubricating a modern engine AT ALL! The four ball test will go off the chart if you use bleach though!!! Not good oil though. While the article still floats around the mag even had to rescind its findings as BUNK!!!

The filter comparison is basically worthless too other than general construction issues such as cardboard endcaps (actually an oil paper) because what you really need is to know is how good the filter media functions in a dynamic flow situation (Like and engine) and how good the ADB functions. Heck even Amsoil is having some problems on a few filters for drainback valves.

Want a really nice CHEAP filter in the USA get a Motorcraft FL-300 (Now you need almost 5qts of oil) at ChinaMart (AKA Walmart) and spend $3.55. If you just shop at one of the autoparts stores fine the cheap ones and look inside and see if it has a plastic (nylon) center tube if so it is a Champ E-Core which is a decent filter (SuperTech at Walmart is one now as well as STP I believe. Their are others).

I used to use the Orange Can and will no longer support that racket. Sure they make better filters too but they can get expensive to the point I'd say just get a Mobil1 or K&N.

Everyone has there own op on what brand of oil fliters and oil they use so your just going to have to go to your autoparts store and ask them what brand is there best and still cheap and oil and go from there.
