Agreed 100% just slice a fram filter open and see for your self.. its a pile of c@@p.

A engine builder buddy ran a 700HP SBC on the dyno to break the engine in and tune it. Came time after 1/2 hour to change the oil filter - he had forgot his replacement GM filter at home. Screwed a fram filter on and and lost 15HP! Put the GM filter back on power came back.

Stay away from Fram. As best I can tell I had to do an emergency overahul on my plow truck because it had the cam go flat and the Fram oil filter didn't catch the metal.

Don't mis-understand, I haven't got anything that would stand up in court, so this is my opinion, but now you have it.
