Thread: Fram oil filters - crap or not??

A secondary struggle I have is that Fram filters can be had from discount department stores, like Meijer and Walmart. I'm not saying that equates to poor quality, but it makes me question things. I am interested in the thread, though, and am not trying to start another Fram bash day. Some of us are a "tough sell" and this thread is good to lay out the facts.

Lets face it, the entry level filters are probably garbage relative to the top of the line.

Only filter you should really be interested in running is something for extended drain intervals.

Edit: Just called both mobil and champion labs.... Couldn't give me single pass efficiency test results and champion labs guy had ONE number to give me "filtration material is rated for 10 microns"... yeah... but how well....

Edit 2: K&n.......... 98% multi-pass efficiency at 20 microns.

Champion labs also claims they will be making the new royal purple filters.... But who wants engine oil with dye in it?
