T-Keith,
Please don't think I was directing my comments directly at you. I'm very aware it's been discussed before. Actually, haven't you and I been the two to "discuss" it the most?
My comments were geared more towards the general comments, including those made in this Topic, which I keep reading over and over again ref FRAM oil filters. However, I am trying to focus more on the X2, as I believe it to be a superior oil filter. Sure, it may be high priced, but so is the K&N, which no one seems to complain about. Yes, I do believe the K&N to be a very good filter. Yet, ask yourself (and be honest) - how much better is it than Motorcraft, PureOne, Baldwin, Wix, etc.? I'll leave it at that in regards to the K&N, because I don't want to steer off topic too much.
Anyway, I still haven't read anything here in regards to the X2 -SPECIFICALLY- which contradicts my belief in the X2. Most peoples' comments refer to past FRAM stories (true or not) and the regular FRAM oil filters. I feel the X2 may be a turning point for FRAM, and it should be given a chance without speculation thrown in which hasn't been verified. Hopefully, valid, scientific, independent tests will confirm this. Maybe they won't.
I don't know. But until that time, I will continue to have complete faith in the X2, high price or not.
