Fram gets lots of good marks here lately. I haven't used one in 20 years, but am thinking about buying a toughguard next time if it is on sale. I have used Wix or Motorcraft and been happy with them until all the talk about the 820S problems. I never had a problem with an OCOD in the 90's either, but then I changed my oil at or before 3k back then too.
Question is wherever I have seen a torn down Fram it has way less media than almost all the other brands. Why so much less media and why would a Fram be better than a Wix with similar efficiency but greater capacity?
Also, price is not a factor for me - I can get Wix filters for around $3 any day with a work discount - cheaper than Fram anyway.
