I was in the local NAPA store yesterday grubbing around for this and
that, and there was this oil filter display on the counter. Two
filters: Fram on the left, the other brand (don't remember what) on the
right, and the display said to pick them up and compare.
I did-- the cans came right off to reveal the innards. The Fram... wow,
what a P.o.S.! It's almost entirely cardboard-- THIN cardboard!!!
Somewhere on the web there are a couple of really good oil filter
comparison pages. (One was down for a few months as a mfr. was
temporarily successful at intimidating the author, but it's back up the
last I heard.) Bottom line: Fram = junk. Recommended were Wix and AC
Delco.
