Oil filter study.  They are NOT all the same.

Fascinating read. Fram filters fare poorly in the test and here I've been foolishly running Fram's since my second car. First one was a '63 VW  which didn't even have an oil filter.  Guess I've dodged some unseen bullets since I've never had an oil-related engine failure. Generally run my vehicles out to 225K+ miles (just to squeeze all the juice out).  '95 Cherokee's pushing 210K and has survived solely on Frams, oil & air.

Good advertising I guess, I always chose Fram too.
