Well, take a look at this then....

The difference in quality Fram OEM vs Filtech OEM is striking. The Fram is total cheapness with less filter media and cardboard end caps. You really want that in your engine? Not me.

I've been on bitog for 2.5 years and the general consensus i've seen over there isn't that a fram filters are bad.. It's just that your paying too much for a mediocre product. You can get a much better filter for the money. Some have claimed adbv failure, but that can happen with any filter. Although fram's adbv's are freakin paper thin.. but meh, its just a cheap filter overall.

I've been using Purolator filters. They are pretty cheap and work well.

In my SHO, I've used Mobil 1 and AMSOIL.
