RE: Castrol Synthetic?
fram filters have the highest rate of failure of any brand, their junk rubber diaphragm anti-drainback is highly prone to getting stuck open, so oil doesn't get filtered at all. there was a filter study done a while back comparing most of the major brands. napa gold, wix and purolator pure one filters were at the top of the quality scale with the best materials and amount of filter material inside, with others like the fram and pennzoil filters at the very bottom.
around here, wix filtersand purolator pure one filters are less than a dollar more expensive than fram, so that's what i buy.

I saved that oil filter article in my fav's. It's a long read if you're interested.
