You be the judge.
Filters are relatively cheap. Hassle??? Remove two bolts, pull cover, replace filter, put cover back on, and place bolts. It really only takes a couple minutes. I change it each filter change. Course I use the junk fram ones
, so its highly import for them to be changed often.

Unless I'm mistaken, that would be a 250 GTO?
My limited understanding of the FRAM debacle, is that they had a couple batches of filters get through where the glue holding the paper end cap came loose, and when the filter media got sucked into the bloodstream, a few engines self-destructed. This happened several years ago. What I don't understand is, knowing they would be under subsequent intense scrutiny, they continue to use the same basic glue arrangement. I'm not suggesting to anyone FRAM is trash, (and I admit to having used them in years past,) however, given their track record and knowing they have not appreciably changed their construction, I will not use them again on any of my vehicles.
