Could you edit your post with which Fram filter you looked at, please? They have a two or three different types of varying quality.

I don't usually buy Fram so I don't know their line names, but it was the middle grade filter. I think it was extended guard. It was not the top $ one in the silver box, but it was not the cheapo in the plain orange box (which I don't believe has the bedliner type grip stuff on the end). If you want the exact for sure, I can check when I get home tonight and repost.
