Stay away from FRAM.........AC Delco is the way to go. Tear a couple apart sometime, and you'll see why FRAM is NOT a good idea.

Best spin-on on the market is AMSOIL for nominal particle size filtering, contaminate holding capacity, and burst resistance. Then Mobil 1, then perhaps AC or Hastings, then things start leveling out.
Fram is just below K-Mart & Target store brands.
Actually, putting Fram in the same sentence as K-Mart & Target is insulting to K-Mart & Target... Oops, did it again!
