I'd really like to know what the filtering efficiency of that filter is. It may look cool, but it might not filter worth beans.

Fram Ultra for me. I five of them waiting to be used.
Mobil 1 EP filters are my favorite, even though I refuse to pay $13 for them. I am confident using E-Cores, AC Delco classics, and Chinese built, bullet-proof cheapo-s.
Caterpillar Ultra, Donaldson Endurance, Mahle/Knecht, Mobil-1/K&N, Fram Ultra, in that order.

Fleetguard Stratapore Venturi, Amsoil/Donaldson Endurance, Royal Purple-if money is no object. For the money, it's HARD to beat a Fram Ultra!

I don't have any qualms with Fram's bypass valve design. It's spring operated, and the valve is high temperature nylon material. Fram has tested the design 100%.

I'm fine with it also. But the Purolator bypass valve is, in my opinion, the most predictable of all the common types when mass production tolerances are considered. Its cheap to build, but its also very, repeatable depending more on the modulus of the metal its stamped from than on its physical dimensions which are subject to error in the production process. Its an example of very clever engineering to counteract problems in production... I admire that.

For cartridge (no metal outer can) oil filter like I currently need for my BMW and Chevy, NAPA Gold 7327 and Fram ToughGuard TG8765 are built the best. Great media too, both have very high ISO 4548-12 scoring synthetic-glass blend media and lots of pleats, solid.

I think that KevGuy makes these posts with tongue firmly in cheek.
He always has the same answer to any question regarding oil filters.
I do have an OCD on the Focus at the moment, since I picked it up for a buck and a half and that was too good a deal to pass on.
Nothing wrong with the orange can, although it would be quite a stretch to call it the best constructed oil filter.
OTOH, the Fram Ultra is probably in the running.

Pretty much.
