I dont understand anyone that uses cheap **** filters. Seriously whats the price difference? $5.00?? If that. Use oem OEM OEM!!!!! If I had a chevy i would use AC Delco, Dodge Mopar and so forth. I just don't get people who choose to go with a filter that was not specifically designed by the manufacturer for your engine...

I use Fram's on my wife's stock Civic beater, but I would never put one on any of my cars. I only use Napa Gold filters which are manufactured by Wix.

Interesting read with a link to the actual details on the filters: http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfilterstudy/oilfilters.html
Back in the day Fram was a good paying contingency and gave away a lot of their race version Oil filter.Remember all of those decals you see on the cars are worth a dollar amount depending on what place you are to win.And if you have the decal and claim it if the manufacturer wants to check to make sure you are using their o/f,tires,sparkplugs and so on.So alot of guys used the Fram filter and had problems...
