Yep. For peace of mind, I'd recommend staying away from any filter manufactured by Fram. Very cheap construction.

FYI,
I hear MOPAR uses different suppliers for their filters and some may be made by fram. Anyone know this to be truth or fiction (not to be confused with truth or dare)?

When considering an oil filter for vehicles using synthetic oils, you should use a Synthetic Engine Oil Filter that is specifically designed for the advanced filtration needs of Synthetic Motor Oils. As a vehicle owner you should look for a synthetic oil filter that provides the best possible balance of efficiency, long service life, capacity, and high flow capabilities.

- efficiency is a filter's ability to trap contaminants
- Service life is the period a filter allows proper oil flow while trapping and holding contaminants
- capacity is the amount of contaminants a filter can hold without loss of oil flow and filtration

Oil filters need good efficiency and good capacity to protect engines.

Those with poor efficiency fail to trap a significant portion of particles large enough to damage the engine.

Those with poor capacity fill quickly, and once filled, allow dirty oil to bypass the filtration media, circulate unfiltered, and damage the engine.

The AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filter is a full flow oil filter designed for synthetic oils, extended drain intervals, and severe service. Its rugged filter body contains a high-tech blended filtration media composed of cellulose and synthetic and glass fibers. The filtration media sets the Super Duty apart from conventional filters in efficiency, service life, snd capacity -- and that all adds up to superior filtration and protection.

Hope this was helpful,

Steven

I think the survey rates WIX and NAPA Gold (not Silver) highly. If you can find WIX use it, I haven't found a local place selling WIX so I use NAPA Gold, which is made by WIX.

Misinformation about AMSOIL Super Duty Filters
Q. I was told that AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filters are inferior to "Wix (Napa) filters that costs half the price!" Is there any truth to this?

A. In regard to AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filters being inferior to Wix (NAPA) filters based upon visual inspection, AMSOIL Filters have an inner beauty that's not visible to the human eye. Unlike the person who made these comments, the Society of Automotive Engineers recognized that filter performance cannot be evaluated by visual inspection. Therefore, they created the industry standard SAE HS806 test for evaluating oil filters. The SAE HS806 test evaluates particle removal efficiency and contaminant holding capacity which are the two main functions an oil filter must perform. AMSOIL outperforms the competition in both areas.

The Amsoil Super Duty Filter has a finer filtering media, more dirt holding capacity, heavier-duty construction and a 6-month/12,500-mile change interval recommendation which is the highest in the industry. Change a Wix (NAPA) filter two to three times as often at half the price and it will cost more. There will also be more and larger particles of dirt in your oil at all times if you don't choose the AMSOIL Super Duty.

If you find this interesting ... GREAT!
