    Nice link to the Purolators :D I'll order from Amazon for my next one.

    Frams might last 3000mi, and the majority of them should as I've run over 150,000mi on Fram filters across various vehicles and didn't notice any filters that disintegrated, but the summary given by the tester I linked previously made me decide to switch. He's found a few areas in this filter that allow it to pass unfiltered oil. This isn't something that will kill your engine the first time it happens. It is a concern for a vehicle I intend to keep for a long time.

    >>>>>
    Years ago Fram was a quality filter manufacturer. Now their standard filter (the radioactive-orange cans) is one of the worst out there. It features cardboard end caps for the filter element that are glued in place. The rubber anti-drainback valve seals against the cardboard and frequently leaks, causing dirty oil to drain back into the pan. The bypass valves are plastic and are sometimes not molded correctly, which allows them to leak all the time. The stamped-metal threaded end is weakly constructed and it has smaller and fewer oil inlet holes, which may restrict flow. I had one of these filters fail in my previous car. The filter element collapsed and bits of filter and glue were circuilating through my system. The oil passge to the head became blocked and the head got so hot from oil starvation that it actually melted the vacuum lines connected to it as well as the wires near it.

    Cut the old man break. Says he has been buying the Frams for 41 years. That puts him probably in his 60's at a minimum and probably a smoker.

    As a 25 year veteran parts guy (20 years at the dealership level) I couldn't agree more. MOST of the time, you get what you pay for.

    Wix filters are very good. They make the Napa Gold filter also.

    I put a Napa gold on last week because they are 40% off all this month. It's a great filter too.

    If you buy stuff on ebay. Sign up for a bing.com account. Search for shit and find the ebay.com link, doesn't matter what you search just get the link. Buy shit get money back from microsoft, and ebay bucks. Then with the moneyback rewards buy a ten pack of OEM filters. I paid a total of $20 shipped for 10 filters with my rewards. Thats = $2 for OEM v6 Filter.
