Motorcraft doesn't use cardboard in the end cap, for starters.Originally posted by KungFuHamster View Postwhat exactly about motorcraft makes them better than one or the other? I was told a few years ago that Fram makes motorcraft filters, but I have no proof that is correct.Originally posted by PGreenCobraI can't get over the fact that you get to go live the rest of your life, knowing that someone made a Halloween costume out of you.

The WIX (aka Napa Gold), Motorcraft, and AC Delco are all I would use. If you have an import car I would stick with WIX or the OEM.
Never get a Fram and put it on a car you care about, unless you're using it to mask the oil filter boss on a block you're painting. Every comparison shows them to be put together with cheap cardboard ends that can collapse and block oil passages. They typically use ~2/3 of the filter media as compared to quality filters and the bypass valves are crap. This is a subject I'm weird about (there are many) and I can't stand to see one of those bright orange pieces of shit on a friend's car.

When the government pays, the government controls.

Hottest a filter can get is the temperature of the oil. It ain't generating heat...Originally posted by 91CoupeMike View PostOh really?
Did the mesh separate and enter the engine? They say the adhesive is good for *600. I know oil doesn't get that hot, but stuff around the filter may, I was thinking it could heat soak and fail.Full time ninja editor.
