[QUOTE="68mustang, post: 1904870, member: 9584"] Always stay with wix myself, they are endorsed by nascar if that means anything to you. Fram are probably the cheapest filters they sell. That's why they always have deals about a complete oil change with a "free" fram filter. If you were keeping it 3k miles prob would be fine but if you're going for extended oil change intervals get a good filter, or change the cheap filters out at regular maintenance interval. Also, remember to fill the filter before you put it on the engine. If you don't the engine will run without oil pressure until the filter fills up. Also, only tighten about 1/2 to 3/4 past the filter contacting the mating surface. You'll thing it's too loose but trust me if you tighten them too tight you'll never get them off. Make sure to put a film of oil on the rubber o ring. [/QUOTE]
