By those welds, it almost looks homemade. I dont think they would sell a product with those semi-pretty welds.

They have a tendency to back off of our oil filter housings. I have read many stories about these filters destroying engines.
And for two they are very cheaply made, if you look at the internal construction of a Fram filter compaired to a Wix filter it is night and day. Fram is cheap, poorly designed, and poorly constructed.

Looks a lot like mine. And mine was a homemade job from a friend of the person i bought it off of. It looks decent and no cracks. Well over 2 years old!!

Ive been using Fram oil filters for the two years ive owned my car and no problems yet. not saying you all are wrong but i havent had a problem yet. and im not about to pay 12 dollars for a k&n filter. that you put on drive for like three weeks and you have to change it again.
