Then go buy a Wix. Or go to the dealer. Leave the cheap stuff (and Fram) on the shelf.

Fram Oil filter

I typically go with Mobil 1. Fram has been manufacturing filters that use a little flap of tin for the bypass spring which comes on during high oil pressure situations, and at least in Canada i have seen these fail quite early. And not one or two, but closer to 3/10 i have cut open. I should cut more open as my observations are now a bit dated but in my opinion if it has a actual bypass spring inside of it, they will be more effective in the long run since the ones with a actual bypass spring inside of the filter i have personally never seen one fail yet.

And with filter media, you want it to be the vacuum bag. The canister that simply catches the most crap is not exactly the smallest micron rating, but the filter that returns to normal operation reliably when the vehicle hits operating temperature. And if that filter seems too expensive to run, then you really cannot afford to replace the engine.

Edit: Also it is worth checking out your factory supplied oil filter as they usually spring the bypass correctly for the designed engine oil pressure.

Pros: reliable operation, good filter media
Cons: tin bypass spring fails

I have had a Fram orange can of death implode on a car I owned. Dunno how long it was running with Un-filtered oil but the motor never died. I quit using the El cheapo ones.

Cons: imploded, unfiltered oil

Fram Oil filter

Filter out of a 91 Mustang with the 2.3 Lima. Filter was a Fram that was about half as long as it should have been, and it was filled with those tar/sludge globs. They were even coming up on the dipstick.

Cons: wrong size, filled with sludge
