Strange...I keep hearing about how Fram sells such poor quality filters. I've been running them 20+ years in 8 or so vehicles with zero base engine problems so far.
I have engines with as many as 200k original miles, my newest vehicle (of 4) is at 142k currently.
While I do believe "you get what you pay for" I've gotta believe for lack of any other technical "first pass" or SAE filtration-efficiency test results, that filters of the same price range are putting about the same "stuff" in them.
I've never had a Fram (with a steel case) blowout or fail under the torque I put on them and I like to run them tight. Strangely enough one time I guess I had extra cash in my pocket and a bunch of soap bubbles in my head because I sprang for a high priced K&N oil filter. The threads were so poorly formed I could not get it on the threaded adapter without wrenching it all the way on (which I was not about to do). Being generally teed off I sent the filter back to K&N certified mail to their CEO explaining the problem and also telling them if they were going to make such poor quality parts the least they could do was to also pay for the scrap/disposal. Guess that fixed them 8)

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
