I was told by several people whose automotive knowledge is by far
superior than mine that FRAM is by no means worse than OEM filters. I am
always using it on 4kq and Golf and my experience is satisfactory. Maybe
other filters could be suggested for cars used for extreme conditions
(like racing) but for a normal driving car I would recommend to use
Fram. I buy them in Walmart paying $2.50 only. I was also told that FRAM
is by far superior to other aftermarket names.
