This topic resurfaces continually here. Reminds me of the topic of which came first? The Chicken or the Egg? I don't propose to tell anyone what to spend their money on when doing their Oil changes. Buy what ever you want. Makes no never mind to me. Just remember that you get what you pay for and in this instance Fram's are the bottom feeder of Oil filters. Cheap and inexpensive yes. But the end results when an engine fails because of "CHEAP" mindedness, should give anyone with an ounce of sense, pause for concern. As the saying goes, "You get what ya pay for" and so goes the way of Fram filters. For me, Wix/Napa, Autocraft FL 1A. or K&N. Why would anyone spend large amounts of their hard earned money on an engine re-build and then throw a cheap Fram filter on a fresh 440....
