i'm glad i can contrib more to the site than just rag on ford build quality :lol:

i can't find my orig post either... these 'could' be the same links i used in my orig post

here's a comparison article

http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterStudy.html

C grade is average.. fram is the only one that got an F (ie way below average) construction

here's another article

http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilt...rence.html

fram filtration area is pretty low, testers commented on the crappy construction quality

the general consensus seems to be that fram filters are built on the cheap

P51 weighted in on an oil filter discussed a while back.. i believe he also said that OE was the way to go
