The reason I pointed this out is that the famous ongoing oil filter study
webpage rated the Fram Tough Guard version as OK, even as it disparaged the
other two grades.
The whole issue is a little dicey since the manufacturers continually change
the designs (seldom for the better), or buy each other out and so substitute
different product under the old brand names. Caveat emptor.
I still find it funny that every Ferrari I have ever seen with the hood open
has sported a pair of the bright orange basic Fram filters (inverted, no
less). Do you think they never actually start their engines?
