FYI I use WIX on my wife's car. The guy at the parts store said WIX > Fram.

We're sure to have a debate. 1, 2, 3, go! I am pretty much sold on Amsoil and all of their products. That being said I still look closely at their product specs. I have not been able to find a better filter than OEM for my Yanmar. In lew of Amsoil, NAPA Gold, Wix, or Purolator Pure 1 are all competitively good. I try to compare media type, square inches, end plate material and method of attachment, bypass valve pressure, valve spring design, drain back valve material and finally the burst pressure. I would avoid at all costs a standard fram oil filter. Period. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD I remember a discussion about which brands of oil filters were better (and worse). In the days I changed the filter in my car myself, I always used Fram because it was easy to find, but I remember from this list that was not a good make. Suggestions? This is for a 1980's Perkins 30 HP diesel, probably less than 20 hours per year.
