I second that idea.  By the way, for anyone that cares, don't buy FRAM.  I've cut apart their filters, and they're pieces of shit.  Mostly cardboard on the inside.  They cost more and offer less filtering abilities.  What they have is a very good advertising campaign, that's all.

Good filters I've cut apart and examined would be Mobil 1 and NAPA Silver/ NAPA Gold.

For the record, I use only NAPA Silver filters anymore.(the gold for some reason doesn't fit on my truck)  When I switched from FRAM to NAPA, I actually noticed a lighter shade of spent oil after 3000.  No bullshit.

Plus, to get the superior filtering element, NAPA silvers are only 3-4 bucks.  

Mobil 1s are hella nice, but about 10 bucks.  IMO, NAPA silver filters just as well.  Gold does filter more (like 5ppm or something), but like I said, it doesn't fit on my truck.
