AC, Wix, Donaldson, Baldwin do real good. I had a Fram on my Duramax, and had pressure problems. Switched to Donaldson, and all's well now.
Fram must have switched manufacturers or something. Back in the 80's and early 90's they were great filters. In the 2000's, I notice alot of folks have quit using them and complaints of problems increased alot.

Fram has a horrible reputation these days..........I've seen lots of bad experiences on various forums. Our local Advanced Discount Auto has one cut open as a display and the insides are just laid in the housing, not really fastened down. By contrast the Purolator they have has the element firmly secured as part of the housing and it is much more substantial than the Fram.
At one time Fram was all I would use in high oil pressured applications but no more.

I'm not using a FRAM filter but will switch back to a Delco PF-35 as soon as possible - like the taller filter for griping too
