    I did my own comparison a few years back and never bought another Fram anything… the OEM filter was actually one of the better ones when I opened it up and have been using ever since

    Interesting but I don't understand his issue with the Mobile 1 bypass valve. I see those cheap Frams haven't changed much over the years. Cardboard. Sheesh.

    Look into the Fram Ultra/GX. A totally different animal. One of the best filters you can buy.

    Chris’ thread convinced me the OE YZZZ3 filter was better than the Mobil filter I was using. And, $13 less too!:thumbsup:

    Yes, way! WalMart doesn't list these online but our local store has them. Has had them for a couple of years. Got one there along with a jug of Mobil 1 5w-30 last week. 7 dollars and change.

    I don't know how that is a trigger. I would understand if it was the orange can but the ultra can is great quality.
