The Fram filters are made like crap and have been known to come apart because of it.

Those are great information resources Paul.  Glad you posted them!

I really like the NAPA Gold filter and thats what I use now.  It seems very solid and is a bit smaller in size.  This makes it easier to get on and off (squeezing it past the header/oil line and getting a hold of it to spin it off - a wrench issue).  They are also readily available and the cost is reasonable.  They are basically the same as the WIX filter, I think.  

I also tried the STP SMO-18 and have never had a problem with them.  Its a bit cheaper but they keep changing the design of it (and countries where its made) so this makes me a bit nervous.

I also used the Amsoil 109 filter but I don't want to go there!   :stop:  :roll:
