Fram is garbage, anything else (for the most part) is acceptable. I use Walmart Supertech (good filter) or OEM on the Corolla, and AC Delco on the Corvette. No matter how precious you think your car is, you’re wasting money going with Mobil 1/KN, as long as you are changing your oil at the proper intervals. Yeah. Really. ---

No. Really the only ‘bad’ filter you can use is Fram (or one that Fram makes for another company, IE Quaker State), but even engine failure directly related to junk filters are rare. Any car on here could use the WalMart SuperTech, standard Purolator, etc, and never have an engine problem directly related to the oil filter. In fact, I refuse to use a Mobil 1, as severl friends have found SAND in brand new ones.
