Who has that article about filters?

Is this the one you refer to.  If not you should give it a look cause it's pretty interesting.
I think I might be going to WIX.

anything bur Fram...    I dont like my filters failing....   

[Charger_Fan]

Friends don't let friends buy Fram (or any of the 40 no-name ones they make). 

Wix for me too.

[blackcharger]

I've been using Fram (and Champion Plugs) since 1980 without any trouble. And Dad got me started using them both.

Fram was great until they started selling to Wal-Mart. Now they're the cheapest oil filter made just to meet Wal-Marts strict price cap.
The last moapr performance filter I bought (last week) for my hemi was $25 inc shipping and tax. Way too much money. I gotta find an alternative. I still buy Fram air filters.The other oval filters just don't look right on a mopar.

K&N or any of the filters made by Wix-Dana corp; i.e.- Wix and NAPA

I saw that study, or one similar, quite awhile back.  I've used NAPA Gold ever since (since it's made by Wix, and I can't seem to find Wix).

www.rockauto.com is where I get my WIX filters.....usually get a few at a time when I order other stuff

I was also a fram guy until I read that article a couple of years ago and switched to the purolator pure ones

[squeakfinder]

I used to use Fram but then heard that they are complete junk inside and switched to NAPA gold.

[Plumcrazy]

I used to use the Mopar repro filters until they got too expensive.
I have a Mobil 1 filter on my Charger now but I would have bought a K&N if the local Autozone had the right one in stock, maybe next year.

I don't consider a Fram to be a high quality filter but I've taken hundreds of them off of engines over the last 30 years, haven't seen one cause a problem yet.

[Ghoste]

The last two were K&N for me.

[MGBRingo]

i switched from many years of using Fram to Purolator a couple of years ago.  No more Fram for me.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Working at a repair shop, I've seen tons of engines get wrecked by FRAM oil filters.  They degrade and fall apart, then ruin the engine.

I have used NAPA Gold for years.  Never knew they were made by WIX.  Now that I do, I'll keep on using them!  (Besides, NAPA is close by and WIX are nearly impossible to find locally)

[adauto]

WIX baby.... (NAPA GOLD, top of the line CARQUEST).but you didn't hear it from me 

[RD]

wix is sold by o'reilly autoparts.  you can find them at www.oreillyautoparts.com   they sell online and can ship to your door if needed.  Cheaper than NAPA most likely, but I have not compared the two as of yet.

[Silver R/T]

top of the line are best wix, k & N Napa GOld

[71charger_fan]

Personally, I use Pure One but here's a guy that's more than satisfied with the performance of Fram:

Could be my aging eyes but I swear I see an orange filter on the majority of Top Fuel cars.
