Ha! Did you think that Fram made a quality filter? If you search the net there is a guy that ran his own oil filter study in his garage, Fram ranks just about dead last, and this study was done in 1999. The best filters are the Mobil one brand and the Wix. (they could all be junk by now) But he tested the filters for the following: 1. Hydrostatic burst pressure. 2. Leak back of check valve 3. paper element quality, (how much does the element wear down over time/temp. And many other attributes that are important, shell thickness, backplate thickness, gasket quality, etc. This guy had plenty of time on his hands and money. He bought every type of filter imaginable. And he tested all of them. He used a lathe to cut open the filters and do all analysis. I even printed out the study and I have it on hard copy, 22 pages. The authors name is Russ W. Knize. The report is quite indepth for a guy in his garage that is doing this on his own without a corporate sponsor, like Ford Motor company or Consumer reports. If you really think about it the car makers are trusting their engine warranties to a $5 filter that is poorly made and "could" wreck an engine or engines and the warranty costs would be horrendous. I would love to get sponsored by a company to do all the tests this guy did and issue a long test report with data. I could do all the testing for under $10k worth of equipment.
