Fram is the worst in oil filters.The bypass valve is located at the top of the filter.Which means that when it bypasses,it "washes"the filter off and guess where the dirt goes, right back into the engine.Stay away from Fram!

You are welcome.
Her is a link on a oil filter study.
Do not know how true it is but some good reading.

I have heard fram uses cardboard in their filters, which isn't good. I usually use purolator..

Also fram will cause oil pressure problems.
I can not figure out why so many people use them.
Check out the link I posted in a couple of post up.
