I use the Fram Tough Guard ?FG16? filter, it gets changed roughly every 3~4k miles or so...

I also use Fram filters. My main concern is that the filter isn't Brand X. Name brands like Fram or even Napa. As long as it filters out the smallest particulates possible. I worry more about the brand and type of oil than the filter. I'm am militant that only Valvoline is used in my hooptie!

I run the long oil filter the old mopars and fords used. Equivelant to fram PH8. Same holes on engine side as the little one. [sm=patriot.gif]
