Are there worse oil filters that we should be talking about in stead of FRAM? I've never actually known anyone to have problems with our orange friend.

Any filter that has a hole in the media is automatically worse than any other filter without a hole.
Having said that, do we really need another Fram thread?

No joke. This is actually an other than FRAM thread.

"Group 7" was a cheap filter you'd see around. Mechanic told me he saw 2 engines' oiling systems plugged by them.

Any spin-on filter that has a leak in the seam or can is automatically worse than a filter that only has a hole in the media.

Buy 2, cut one open, and decide.
It's actually called the Orange Can Of Death. Doom is not alarmist enough.
The reputation is based on perceived quality not actual performance.
The hate Purolator gets is more justified because the filter is actually tearing during use. Unless people are damaging it during the CP?

My Toyota Corolla takes a very small filter to date I have yet to find one Tearalator. I have used them regularity for the last 6 plus years. I buy what's on sale and is 99% rated at 20 microns. But frankly I'm looking for a 99% filter at 10 Microns then the rest will be carp!

I exclusively used Purolator oil filters for years (even during the "tearing" crisis.) I used Classics to 3k and Pureones to 5k and never opened one that was torn. There was a while were I posted proof every time I would change the oil on one of my vehicles. I must have been exempt from "all" of those torn filters.
Now I use the Fram because its cheap, has decent performance and most importantly....available at the walmart where I buy my oil.

No; just lucky.

Use the OEM filter that Toyota uses.
