The irony is that a Fram Ultra for the OP's application is about twice as expensive as the OEM Mann. You pay double to experience a spectacular failure like the one I posted above.
I was referring to basic FRAM. But get your point. It is just ridiculous what you can buy today in the stores, and whole marketing behind those products is Made in USA. They are using that to sell substandard product, but import internal parts from cheapest supplier. In the hindsight, you would think they care about this country. Company that wants to keep name in the business will not make that kind of product.
