I used FRAM Oil Filters for over 20 years without a problem but, they were a great deal at one time just like Havoline oil. Now, they're always the most expencive filters in my neighborhood and there are better known filters for less money often on sale. I'll still use a fram if it comes with an oil/filter special such as what PepBoys addvertises, eg;(5qts of X brand oil & a FRAM filter)
