On a side note, As long as folks buy as cheap as they can, the chinese are smiling.

They are a cheap poor filter, years ago a guy told me to cut a Delco, and fram in two and look to see what paper filter looks like in each one, the fram had about half the filter paper, I only buy wix filters, on sale every spring, my 35$ air filter was 16-17$ on sale

I lived in Greenville Ohio as a kid and I'm pretty sure Fram Filters were made there. That is correct. Fram filters were made in Greenville, Ohio. Building is mainly a warehouse now.

Some people shop for bargains and pray to the blue light and some folks shop for quality just depends how you look at the investment I guess!

Was out in the shed working today so I checked out the Fram filters I have accumulated over the years and everyone was made in the USA so the China thing must be a recent change!

Haven't you heard though Law Dog, Fram filters suck, and we mustn't care that another American Co has moved to China. Carry on.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Yep..I have driven Toyota's some over 300,000 miles and had to change out a fuel pump once. Never had a bearing problem, oil pump problem.. rings or cranks..people said Fram was the way to go..I did look at a wix filter yesterday at $8.00 or so..maybe I will..maybe I won't..LOL.

I change my oil often after working in the automotive field for many years and seeing the nightmares that came through the doors! I get the bug and start draining and changing out oil and filters guess they don't need to be great as often as I change them. I bought some Mobil 1 synthetic the other day will give that a try and see what it's all about at the next change.

Mobil 1, and fram have given my cars and truck many many miles I change every 12000-15000. People think that crazy I say miles speak for them selves. Wife's car had 280000 miles on it and still ran good when we sold it. I think you will be happy using it to jerry.
