Which of the above is superior, or are they all the same? After I saw the Fram sawn apart I never used it again. I was told that none of the filters are good for more than 12,000 km. I use a 10,000 km OCI.
Fram vs. Napa Gold vs. Bosch

A regular Fram isn't even the same league as the other 2.

I would use Napa Gold out of these choices.

Bosch bought Purolator, so they have Purolator guts.
You do realize that the Mobil 1 EP and K&N oil filters are made by Champ. Are you not fond of those filters?

Bosch is made by purolator. They own purolator with Mann. I would use the Napa Gold, but i wouldn't have a problem with using the Bosch if I got a good deal on it. I like the Bosch better than the purolator too.
I use Napa Gold, though in a pinch, I've used Bosch and Purolator.
For 10-12K km OCI, cheaper Bosch Premium filter is more than adequate.

Napa Gold/Wix!
I mostly run K&N, but I may switch to Napa Gold (from fleetfilter) in the immediate future.

actually on the front page of fleetfilter it says
"We use UPS to the 48 states and USPS to CANADA, ALASKA, AND HAWAII "
but I wonder what the cost to ship would be.

If they're using USPS, it's a bargain for your Canadian users over retail offerings. The only thing is you're buying a bunch of filters. You need a sizable extended fleet or a few like minded pals to chip in. Otherwise, you'll have a few years of filters to use up on a car you may not own for that length of time.
Napa Gold.
NAPA GOLD out of those three.
NAPA Gold / WIX me too . I buy oil filters + other filters amt http://www.filter.com

It's a good thing GM did one thing decent and designed alot of their engines to fit the AC PF47/Wix 51040/Napa 1040/etc. My car, my wife's, and my mom's all take it so I'll be set for filters for awhile.
