Default Fram filters

Hi

I live in Canada

I got filters today

Got the Fram Extra guard.


4 types of fram

1. cheap
2. better
3. very good
4. Double guards

I got the Extra Guard ( 3 )

I paid $4.19 at walmart Canadian

A damn Ford Racing filter is $17.00


Now my question is
people say Frams suck

Why and why not?



Thanks

P.S> car is a 87 GT 5.0

Frams are very restrictive compared to other filters. I perfer Motorcraft. Ive heard that they are very similar to Purlator filters.

i compare fram filters to the phrase "like throwing a hotdog down a hallway"



actually my dad uses frams on his truck. the only reason i dont like em is because they bend to **** when i take em off.

Fram is junk. I run WIX on my Mustang and diesel. I believe the Napa Gold is made by WIX also and would be a cheaper alternative.
