Either way until the manufacturers start voiding warranty if you run a Fram filter or a Champion spark plug, I guess we need to consider the fact that multi billion dollar companies don't have issue with the use of other brands parts on there equipment so how bad can they be.
In reality an oil filter will catch a few bits of gasket material and any other material that was floating around in a new engine.
After that first filter change very little exists to be filtered out until things start wearing out and the rings get weak and start allowing blow-by into the crankcase.
Be it a cheap filter or a high tech expensive filter, once something fails and starts making metal neither is going to save the engine at best it might briefly prolong the inevitable failure.
I have seen engines with a 1/4 million miles on them where the oil was as clear as a glass of water.
You cut open the filter for a look after an oil change and they are as clean as a new filter as there was nothing there for them to clean out.
I will continue to use non Champion spark plugs and im sure you will continue to use non Fram filters.
