[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 808127, member: 61743"] No it isn't. I'm dealing with hard evidence, not just from filters cut open but the fact that Allied Signal has bought more than a few people new engines because the Frams came apart and pieces of them plugged oil passages and the engine took a powder. And don't call me dumb. We can disagree but we don't insult people around here. Cut one open or look at pics from people who have. Simple fact is that there are much better filters available for the same money (Motorcraft) or less (SuperTech, STP). To get a decent quality Fram you have to step up to a ToughGuard which costs almost double what you'll pay for a Motorcraft but it isn't any better. Oh, and the "Autolite" filters at Wal-Mart are just relabeled Frams and painted white. Bottom line, the short version: Best filter for the money: Motorcraft A little better filter for a little more money: Wix, NAPA Gold, Purolator PureONE Best filter: Mobil 1, K&N [/QUOTE]
