YIKES!!  You're using Fram filters?!?!  Not good at all!  I'm

Don't use Fram.

I think Purolators are better than Fram, and they're about the 
same price, within a couple bucks.  Experiences?

I think you'd be better off using almost anything you can find, 
_except_ Fram.

Just my "humble" opinion, no affiliation with anyone important.
