This really doesn't prove anything. I have used Fram on 5 different Jeeps since 1985 and have never had any problem.
Me neither

These are the only oil filters I'd buy
1. Royal Purple
2. Mobil 1
3. Purolator Pure One
4. AC Delco
If the auto parts is out of those 5 choices I'll go somewhere else.

Safety Car
The pep boys store brand 'proline' is usually re-boxed purolater. Fram spends all their money on marketing. They are the walmart of oil filters- The majority of people have proven time and again that price is more important than other attributes. Every place has Fram because they are cheapest for the stores and have room for mark-up, well advertised with the name recognition.
that link with the study has been around for awhile. I think the cheap fram filters will just barely get the job done on the average car so it isn't a big deal, but what burns me is that they charge a fairly high price they charge- they must be proud of the orange paint job.

well if he would not have posted this you would still be walking on egg shells waiting for your filter to fail.
