Cut one open.... Then get a Puralator or AC Delco and cut that open and you'll see why we do not reccomend Fram Oil filters

Fram air and fuel filters are fine... Its their Oil filters that generally suck

these are just a few of the links that explain why FRAM sucks,
like mentioned above cut a fram open and then cut a P1 or M1 or NG(WIX)
open and you will see.

do a search lots posted by myself and others on this topic...

I will say IF,, somone had a gun to my head and said "use FRAM or Die"
i would use there Extended Guard, it'* the only filter that fram makes that'* worthy
of me mentioning, it has Synthetic blend media backed by a metal screen
for uniform pleating, and i think metal end caps where ther other line is cardboard,
and a Silicone Anti-Drainback Valve.

But for the $$ that fram charges,, there'* alot of better filters out there.....

but in the end i think i would still take the bullet......

But, what does the reputation of their oil filters have to do with their air filters??

While i will never use their oil filters again, perhaps the rants concerning them would have been better used in a thread requesting advice about oil filters.

Just a thought....

I would tho use the tough guard, it'* Pre-oiled media will increase dirt holding capacity.

where the hog may give up a little filtering for flow...$.02
