My last Fram experience came 4 years ago. i was about to do my first OC on my then Chevy Trailblazer. So I go to the local Advanced Auto and get a 5qt jug of Mobil 1 and a Fram Orange Can. The cashier asks me "Changing the oil on your car" I reply "Yep" He asks " What car are you driving?" I reply "Brand new Chevy Trailblazer" He asks "How do you like it?" I reply "So far, so good" He then says "Listen man, Stay away from this oil filter...I'd feel bad selling it to you knowing you like your car, and your using the Mobil 1....go grab an AC Delco filter, or grab one of those Pureone's from Purolator.....you'd be better off.. i'm not selling you this Fram!"
I figured from that point if a salesman in a Pepboys refused to sell me a Fram.....they must be really bad. I haven't looked back since.
