Yeah, Fram was a quality filter before they changed hands. Notorious now as a cheap underperformer. It amazes me how they could ever think thier penny-pinching cut-corners strategy would be such a good idea in the long run. A lot of info on the web about how lame Frams really are . . . not gossip and urban myths, but comprehensive comparisons based on hard data.
Wix are my filter of choice. They also go under the Carquest Gold brand name.
