    Latest Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter as of 2023 January - Is it still a good choice?

    At the top of the big pleat, the dark area isn't a shadow. The pleat is deep, and the end is sticking past the material it is glued to, leaving a hole at the V of the pleat.

    Latest Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter as of 2023 January - Is it still a good choice?

    I went and looked at my Fram Ultra Synthetic XG11665 cartridges I bought well over a year ago. I've used one of the three, and am going to change my oil soon, as I'm about 6k on mine now. The cartridge IS made in BRAZIL. The pleating is not even at all, and where the gap is extremely wide...

    FramTG-8A in place of TG-16 on Dodge V-10?

It seems to me this filter is very small to filter 7 quarts of oil and a 10 cylinder engine with a displacement...
