Say what you will about Fram oil filters but I recently sold an 89 Dodge Ramcharger with 300,000 miles and all is used since day one was Fram filters.The car burned a quart of oil every 1500 miles, just like it did from brand new.

The only advantages, besides spending more money, to buying a K&N are; higher burst pressure, higher flow, and that nut welded on the end.
You can buy a Wix Racing filter, for less money than a K&N, with the same features listed above, minus the nut on the end. The standard Wix and the Wix Racing filter will out filter the K&N. The whole reason for having filters!

I hate to hear this.
2007 Dodge regular cab 5.7 Hemi is the forth truck I’ve owned.
2000 Mazda 154,000 miles fram filters and Castrol oil
1994 Nissan 207,000 miles fram filters and Castrol oil
1986 Nissan 198,000 miles fram filters and Castrol oil
All the above trucks had no oil related problems when I traded them, basically traded them because I got new car fever. Except for the 86 Nissan with the nonreplicable U joints (shame on you Nissan).

k&n filters do keep your oil much cleaner over the oil change interval. the first couple of oil changes i made i used the standard paper filters on it. havnt seen the oil come out of my baby near as dirty since i started using the k&n filter. i get them for 10.99 at autozone. part number for hemi is 2004.

I used to work on heavy equipment before I started rail roading. All our service manager would order was Wix filters. After seeing some of the cheepies in the field fail, namely Fram, I will never put anything but Wix on my vehicles! all one has to do is cut open a Wix and do the same to a fram and you will see why. externally, the Wix has more return holes, Internally the wix media is twice as thick as the Fram, the Wix uses a coil spring, the Fram a flat spring. To me the fram is an accident waiting to happen! For the extra buck or two that the Wix costs, why take a chance?

I've been buying fram PH-8 for years on my dodges and PH-16 if the others were too long. After reading this study of different types of the same filter as PH-8 (for fords) I am throwing out my frams on my shelf and buying from NAPA or even AC Delco.
