Fram is partially owned by a person who also owns a paper company. Fram filters are 1 of only about 3 other companies that make a filter that is made almost entirely of paper. Even though fram has a major marketing presence, they are arguably the absolute worst filter that you could purchase for you car.... literally any filter you grab off the shelf, even the generic ones, will most likely be a better filter. the paper breaks and bends allowing unfiltered oil to remix with filtered oil. Fram filters have little to no filtering values in addition to paper particles being released back into your oil.

K&N , Purolator, mobil, or Wix is what you should be using.
