I only used one fram, and only for a few minutes. After an oil change and
start-up, when I got out of the car, 4 quarts of oil in a big puddle on the
driveway.

The gasket was still in the box!

Stupid me for not checking, stupid them for not installing it properly.

Never saw a filter with "optional" gasket before.

My standard filter is from Canadian tire, #1882

No problems in 12 years.
