Haven't seen it in a while but has anyone tried those magnets that attach to the filters to draw any metal particles in the oil. I guess you should need it with a good filter but how about when your breaking in a new motor? I'm sure it helps there.

ORIGINAL: 03YellowPonyI disagree with your statement on Fram filters. I've been using them for over 20 years, and have had absolutly no problem with them. Hey, if they're good enough for NASCAR and NHRA, they're good enough for me!
I used to think Fram filters were the best. Now I believe their quality has taken a dive. I had a seal blow on me and I lost all of my oil. By the Grace of God the engine did not suffer any damage. Then after that I was changing the filter on '93 Talon where the filter mount is hidden. I changed the oil and started the motor and did a check and oil was leaking out by the filter. Turns out the Fram seal had stuck to the filter housing so I had my new filter on top of that. Now I need to change my oil and will look at the K&N as I have seen them around. I had switched to the best Purolator without trouble but like it was said what is an extra $10. if it truly makes that much od a difference. My engine is too valuable for me to take chances with. mark
I use Motocraft oil filters and have used them since I've owned my car. They are designed and engineered by the Ford Motor Co. and I wouldn't use anything else.

My family has always used Fram, nothing that special but never any problems, so why switch when its working.
My Mustang is an 1988 2.3L with 138,000 I run Pennsoil 10w-40
I have used Fram filters nearly exclusively in Fords and other cars for 35 years, never had a problem. Of course, I change my oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles so the filter doesn't have to last too long.
Glad somebody found the link, I was going to post it myself. Chrysler 2.2 and 2.5L engines can use the Ford filters. I have always used the Ford (Motorcraft) FL1A on my Ford products. I also use Castrol 10W-40 except on the truck in the summer, then I use 20W-50. I have had my oil checked in the lab I work in and found that the FL1A removes a whole lot of stuff.
