                I can't speak for anyone else.... but I have never had any REAL problems with Fram. The only thing I did have a problem with was a small pin hole in the side right next to their grip area..... but that could have been done by me or something while driving.
                From what I can see, it filters.... I guess. LOL

                  I've used Fram for many years and have had good results. 293K on one car and 115K on a current car, plus the bird and the wife's van.

                      It just seems to me that fram's are cheaply built. Have a look around http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfi...ilfilters.html at the fram filters vs wix. It is your choice and the main thing is you have a new filter and oil every 3k ;)
