First time I've been involved in the oil filter issue, but it is important to know who is putting out junk filters.
Didn't know it was a rant or political issue.

Can we please not go around the "oil filter quality" block
again? The list
has done it several times over the years...always turns
into an arguement,
and, finally, to a political bashing thread.. People will
use whatever brand
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.
