Can we please not go around the "oil filter quality" block
again? The list
has done it several times over the years...always turns

they want, or have used for years with no problems.
Rant off.

The ones I cut apart were from Autozone.
BTW Fram filters are not made in the USA anymore.
When you can't find American made products nor find a job;
thank NAFTA.
