cobra935o, I was not trying to insult you, so sorry you took offense. I'm just stating to steer clear of Fram products. There is a reason their oil filter costs a dollar when all the others are 10. Their oil filters are just not good at all. Their fuel filters do not last either. Not only are their products not good, they are downright dangerous to use. Here is some good reading information:
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=350425 I would also highly recommend bobistheoilguy.com for general information on oil viscosity, information about oil breakdown, oil brands, and other information on oil. As one gentleman on the attached post states: "Having used tens of thousands of oil filters professionally in the past thirty six years I've found them with wrong threads, no threads,damaged threads, no gaskets, double gaskets, no paint, paint inside,etc, etc, etc,. That's mostly generic Puro's. $#!+ Happens!! Still no excuse to have a Fram to begin with though!!"

So, rather than providing all this information, I was just providing a one line summary: "Fram is crap."
Sorry, but I stand behind my comment.
