Well, I posted a bad experience I had with frams due to the enlarged radius on the rubber ring not sealing as others and such, I went into detail...

Anyways, here is a good read:

A very long posting of various experiences...

Engine Oil filter Study...

Another bad experience with an NSX...

Yet another bad experience...

OFF TOPIC: Motorcycle experience...

More personal thoughts...

This is just an FYI, as many swear by FRAM. I know that I will never use them. The walmart Tech2k filters are contructed with rubber caps and metal casing on the filter element and are cheaper than the FRAMs. I had no bad experiences with them in the past at all. Even the valuecraft from autozone are constructed better than the FRAM cheapies IMO...
