I would avoid FRAMs. Do a little searching man. Oil and filters has been covered so much it will make your nose bleed.

I use a generic one made by champion labs. the same company that makes those mobil1 filters, so I'm pretty confident in them. the word has always been to stay away from fram.
you can make all the comparisons you want between material quality and filtration efficiency, but I bet the bottom line is there is almost no difference in engine longetivity. maybe on some microscopic scale, but nothing that you will notice during your ownership of the car

Well Uber if you read all the posts i had about fram you would understand why they are junk (and so is your motor)...lol
Fram used to be number one in the industry about 15-20 years ago; however, Fram sold out to a smaller company that now makes fram and all of its subsidaries. They used the cheapest material available. Filter is constructed of cardboard endcaps. relieve valve is plastic and does not seal. Not to mention the filter media is brittle and tends to come apart with age. Ready the studies on the internet.
Purolator actually was 1 of the top 5, as well as mobile one, STP, and AC delco.
Mopar were made by another manufacturer and were found "wanting"..lol
