Low-end alternatives of Fram ?

[ed armstrong]

Hi

I've been following this "evil Fram" thread with
interest.

I recently went to Mann only filters after building my
Audi 90q turbo but prior to this I used Fram
filters(the PH2870A) for years and years on my non
turbo Audi GT and 4000s (also Ford Escort) with no
problems. I somewhat remember Fram filters being
actually "recommended" for 4-cylinder VW applications
in the 'ol VW Porsche magazine (later European Car) in
the late 1980s. Maybe there has been a degradation in
manufacturing quality ?

Anyway, I think I've dodged a bullet with the usage of
Fram filters over the years and probably will not use
them again. But are there any other low-end
alternatives to Fram that have better quality (for non
turbo cars) ?
