Beautiful pictures - nice job! I am not a fan of those fiber end cap Fram models but the TG is a step up and appears to have a good media blend. The filter did it's job and that is what counts at the end of the day!

I've used Fram for quite a while now, but with the quality dropping with First Brands problems, I've decided to move on. Who knows if Fram will ever come back?
Any oil changes going forward, I'll be using Carquest Premium filters based on the posted C&P photos shared on this forum. If not Carquest Premium, it'll be the Mobil 1 filters.

I've never found the paper end caps to be a problem. The glue bonds to the paper filter material just fine so end cap of same / similar material makes good sense. What I don't like is the leaf-spring system as I've see that fail several times causing bad seal or a partially loose cartridge. No more leaf springs for me.
