This is a question that has been bandied about for several years in the
groups.

Fram has a really bad reputation, but it is not certain that its filters are
all that
bad. Nevertheless, I stay away from them.

If you change your oil ever 3000 miles, and you drive 18000 miles per year,
that is only 6 oil changes. Oil filter price differential is all but
negligible.

I would like to see a REALLY comprehensive test series and evaluation on
the various filter manufacturers product, but I dont think we are likely to
see
that soon.
