You coined a phrase: "since Fram got First Branded". Nice job.This is my #1 oil filter choice for Subaru. Microgard Select has become my #1 oil filter choice for all vehicles since Fram got First Branded
I've also stopped buying Fram filters. I don't want my engines becoming a guinea pig for their filter cheapening.
I'm hoping that Walmart switches to another manufacturer for their Super Tech filters. There are some new posts showing the new Super Tech cartridge filters for ST9972 (Ex: Toyotas) have become very well constructed. I'm hoping that trend will also apply to the Super Tech spin on filters.
