The way I see fram is perfectly fine filter if you go no more then 3K miles, you get what you pay for.
Same with conventional oil.
If you care for your car like me, and you squeeze every penny out of your oil then you will think otherwise... Fram at 7500-10,000 is not enouhg in my book... however some of the other filters that have been proven to be better work exactly for that reason.
Another way to look at it, if I drive a beater, then conventional oil and fram is all I am gonna put in it... if I drive a nicer car that I care and love, then Mobil 1 and Wix is my choice.
I wouldn't have a problem using a fram in one of my nicer cars....nothing wrong with the filters. I've used them before with no issues at all. I usually find better deals though....like the delco cartridges for my ecotec.....
