| either mobil 1 high mileage or castrol gtx high mileage. I've swore off fram after learning how their filters are constructed. I've learned a lot about filters in the last mouth so now i use a mobil 1 extended performance filter and i love it.

| These oil filters where used in the same car for the same mileage 4500 using the same oil. The one on the left is a fram. the one on the right is a mobil 1.

| I've always like NAPA parts...since 99% of most local auto shops get parts from them plus they seem to always have parts where most dont...the guy that was there told me their brand oil is made by Valvoline and their brand cost alot cheaper |
