Thanks DuckRyder for the link very informitive. All should read this link. I will be removing the fram from my engine and using a napa or wix filter from now own. Common sense should tell you cardboard and hot oil under presure don't mix.

Same thing my grandpa taught me when I was 4, and I do it still on every change to this very day!

Best Filters are Mobil 1, Napa Gold/Wix(Same thing, just like Kap'n said).

Did you guys know that all the NAPA brand lubricants are just rebottled/labeled Valvoline products?

Wix, Baldwin, or Motorcraft filters.

NEVER buy Fram filters!
