So all studies aside, I used to run Fram filters until my grandpa, who used to sell Archer oil and has been a mechanic for 60 yrs, said that the worst oil to use was penzoil and the worst filter was fram. I didn't think much of it as I was using Havoline anyway. Went to change the oil, I was in walmart, (only store in town at the time open at night) and grabbed a ford filter. I was driving an 86 cougar at the time. The next time I changed the filter it felt much heavier than the fram. I too have had really good luck with just walmart brand filters. I usually now try to grab a wix, napa or delco filter as I'm driving all nicer Chevy's now. Didn't care in my crappy old trucks (ran the walmart filters) Had similar luck with all 3 of those brands in that cougar as well. That one instance alone sold me. I now recommend to everyone to stay away from Fram branded filters. As someone stated the Napa silver filters are actually similar in price or actually cheaper here than the same Fram filter at Walmart. It may be out of your way but well worth extra trip on your way home before doing an oil change.
