There are many fine filters. FRAM is not one of them. There was a take-apart test done some years back, and FRAM was in a class by itself. Not in a good way.
Bosch, MANN, Mahle, WIX (maybe the best) all great.
NAPA gold = WIX

When I do oil I look for the Mann/Mahle at Advance, and then usually grab the Puralator if they don't have the correct item in stock. The Puralator is a smaller filter, but I've never had an issue and I have 270,000 on my car with oil changes every 10,000 miles.
