    I got this product at one of your stores and loved it! It has very many great qualities about it. One of the thing that stood out to be about the product was its great durablitiy. Another thing that was nice was the grip on the end. It was also extremely helpful that I could change the filter without using a wrench. Another thing that really stood out about the product was the use cellulose and synthetic glass blended media to protection my car's engine. Though the best part of all about the oil filter was the price! LOVED IT!

    I do not trust Fram oil filters because of the quality of how the filter element is put together if you were to cut it open it has paper end caps and sometimes the filter media itself is not connected properly at the metal lip. To see for yourself by any cheap or expenzive oil filter and a fram open them up and compare. even the cheap ones have metal end caps.
    I was an automobile mechanic before joining the Marine Corps and am presently a jet and helcopter mechanic. If that adds to the belivablity.
    Or just go to youtube and type in fram oil filters.

          I know some people dont lik fram products but I have always had good luck with them and they are easy to install with the grip on the end which is what I like and they arent to pricey so I would definitely reccomend.

                        I have used oem ac delco for years, also tried a high dollar K&N filter and really saw no difference in cleaner oil. The fram does the same job but the big diff for me is the ease of use, no wrench required which is a huge bonus when you change oil for two vehicles every 2500 miles. Our 96 Olds Silhouette's filter is a royal pain even with a cap wrench, with the fram, it comes off by hand, nice.
