Are the filings you guys are finding in the filter from your engine the same size as the filings coming from the hack saw? The filings I found in my old truck's filters were always super fine like powder, not like the filings coming from the saw.

Fram's are just not worth the money when you can get a purolator for about the same price and mopar filters are usually either made by champion labs which makes mobil 1 and k&n or purolator. Purolator also makes motorcraft/ford filters but the bypass valve is a different design (thread end instead of dome end) on motorcraft vs. most other purolators. I think the pureone is the best for value and performance.
