everything you ever wanted to know about oil filters, short answer is fram uses cheap plastic/cardboard end pieces and anti-drainback valves that let dirty oil leak back into the engine when it's off.

Exactly what I was going to say. If it's an old farm truck and you don't care about the condition of the oil...use Fram because it DOES have that cool grip stuff.
I would prefer, in my higher performance motors, to use a Wix, dipped in bed liner for grip.
