Breakdown of a Fram oil filter with pictures
#21
I've got a couple here for you guys. I was able to cut up a few of these at my high school's auto shop before we crushed them. You can easily point out a small bit of damage from when i was using the air grinder to cut them open.
First 2 are Fram PH3593A
Next is an AC Delco PF52
Last is a Performax PO-1 PZ-1 QS8A (IDK which is model number)

Not sure if it's useful, but the local dealer charged me $4 for a Mopar.

K&N
Although more expensive the K&N do have a very good flow and filtration rate. I've been using the HP3001 lately (larger version of HP2004) for the extra capacity and filtration and don't mind spending the extra bucks for more protection.

Alright gent's, this is what everyone's been waiting for, the examination of the $6 Mopar Oil Filter.
Honestly I probably went 5-6,000 miles on this filter, it was last changed December 31st, 2011 after we did the plenum job.
I'd say it's held up pretty good, the pleats moved around a bit but I think that's normal to a degree, there was one area in particular that was worse then the rest, but overall I'm happy with it.
And yes I put a Mopar filter back on the truck.
