Actually, I will use that M-1 filter with my Pennzoil Platinum fill that I have stashed.

I just wish he could find something else to post about! How about Fram air filters? Autolite spark plugs? BTW, Xtended Guard/Ultra or NOTHING in the Fram oil filter line for me! Including AZ Valucraft, STP, Fram TLE, Driveworks, and any other ecores!

Here is a POS NAPA ProSelect I will never use on my truck,wrapped in plastic.I don't think it being wrapped in plastic makes it any different then an "Orange Can of Death" filter that is in a box.

Things could be different up here. I've never bought a NAPA Gold, since I get the same Wix at a very competitive price. So, I can't say how our NAPA Gold are packaged; they may very well be different from those in the States, or perhaps it varies by part number. I know at my Wix supplier (they have a giant wall of Wix, rather than the normal Canadian giant wall of Fram), there is a mix of boxed and shrink wrapped Wix filters. My last 51515 was shrink wrapped, while my G filters have been in a box.

Wix (or NAPA) will sell their filters individually wrapped in plastic with a dozen or so of these put in a box for service stations that change oil so there is less packaging. As another poster showed, you can also get them in a box individually. Maybe Fram doesn't do that because most service stations stay away from the Fram filter.
I guess the exterior box is one of Fram's best features.

absolutely not, since we have all seen SEVERAL wixs' cut open, and we have all seen SEVERAL orange cans cut open, and the wix wins BY FAR each and every single time. you should take a look for yourself..

I can back up my story about this filter. I had a local tire store do an oil change on my truck ($16.95 plus $3.00 disposal fee)using Valvoline and this filter.Upon start up my engine rattled so bad I thought it was coming apart.I had a friend install a MC filter and the rattle was gone.They ran the same deal for a few months and the next time I brought my own MC filter in exchange for their POS filter! Do a search on this forum,you will see my story.

I have a ocod its cut open as a display in my store that shows what a low grade cheap filter looks like. I also have a performax cut open so they can see the quality difference... doesnt take a engineer to see which one is better...

Correction: A non-engineer can't tell the difference between good engineering and bad. Good engineering comes in many forms.
How about a rocket scientist?

Fram is now too expensive. I get better prices n line at Rock Auto on Mann or Denso.

Honeywell doesn't own Fram anymore.
Honeywell sold Fram (and it's entire consumer auto products divsion) to the Rank Group.

The Rank Group also bought Champ Labs. That's why there's starting to be design bleed from one company to another.
