This topic always gets crazy, kind of like on political sites.
Fram is the largest selling filter in the country. Several reports I've read rate the higher end Fram filters as the best available of all brands. Some on this site still use AC Delco filters, spark plugs, and other replacement parts. Nearly all AC Delco and similar brand auto parts are made outside the US. Millions of cars/trucks/tractors/stationary engines use Fram filters, from the cheapest ones to the most expensive UltraGard filter. As someone said earlier, if there were a large percentage of problems with Fram filters, there would be class action suits against them.
I've seen the pictures, cut open my own filters, etc., and, as a result, use the UltraGard or whatever Fram's higher quality filters are named. In 60 years of driving, changing my own oil, I've never had a filter failure with any brand.
