ORIGINAL: Sanguinius

Fram filters are the #1 filter for double gasketing. I've been changing oil for quite some time and fram if overtightened at all will usually leave the gasket behind. I learned the hard way on an H2. Then learned a second time on an RX-7. Both were fram filters. I will NEVER use one EVER. I use the Purolator Pure 1 exclusively in all my cars (Around $5 a filter though).
man $5 is still pretty cheap for a filter. I used to always get the mobil 1 filters when i had my talon and they run around $10. Not to mention the 40 dollars worth of oil i would put in the car also. (mobil 1 synthetic)

I'd use better oil if I could afford it.. but, ya know, i can't.. so I have to use that cheap SuperTech oil.. nothing more I can do. Maybe I should start a "Mysterio's Mobile 1 Oil" fund raiser. lol. I might try a Mobile 1 filter next time.. of course, I've never had problems with Fram, other than the double gasket.
