Default Fram Filters?????

I just did an oil change dealer was out of filters so Iput a fram on. I have heard bad and good I am going to pull the fram off asap or do I really need to worry about it?

Meh, I've read Fram filters are crap, so I switched to Purolator (I love the blue filters, sure are pretty!).
However, Fram is the #1 brand of filters, and a lot of people do run them without problem.
Change it if it bothers you, but I'm sure it's not gonna kill the beast.

Fram is only number one because the advertise so much and everyone just assumes that it must be good if they advertise. But we all know what happens when people assume.

Like Drew eluded to. The Fram filter can't keep up to the internal pressure of the oil pump for a CTD and can cause the internals to let loose and cause major damage. I had one literally blow apart on a truck before and end up killing the motor.
