Please explain why???? I've used fram oil filters for the last 30 or so years on all my vehicles, no problems so far......I'd be very interested to hear why????

First company car had 250,000 miles, other than the original factory oil filter it never had anything but a fram in it, motor was never touched......

Second company car, the same,cept it was totaled last year with 431,602 miles, motor had never been touched, no problems.....

Present company car has a little over 83,000, no problems....

Same for my trucks/wife's car.....My trucks and my wife's cars generally get around 100,000 miles before trade-in.....

As a side note; 3 or 4 years ago, there was a big write-up here about fram filters, so the next oil change I put in an AC Delco, which had the "best" rating, well after sitting overnight, my car would "rattle/knock" for the first 15 to 25 seconds on start-up!!!!!!!!!!After a couple of weeks, took the AC Delco off, put a new fram back on and have never had that or any problems since.....
