Which attribute(s) make the Fram Ultra spin-on filter better than its competitors?
Let me pile on. FRAM Ultra has great efficiency (99%@20 microns). Huge capacity (new box released in March will show 20k change intervals). Silicone adbv, the only dual layer synthetic media filter in the market, all other brands with syn media are single layer. Pleated wire backed media, not plastic like others. Sure grip for easy install and removal. Can get them delivered through Amazon to your door. And, they are 9-10 bucks at retail while many filters without the same performance are priced much higher. There is no better filter than Ultra and that is a fact.
Let's not forget that at least for the models I've seen, they have actual holes in the metal central core and not louvers (that many times are not fully formed/punched out on competitors products).
