ive heard to stay away from fram from a couple people. i always used them for the grip on the end, but does anyone have an info that says they are bad? im using acdelco right now because thats all autozone had at the time.
i would assume mazda factory oil filters are the best. factory engineers arent dumb

That page was last updated in 99. Alot can change in 5 years. Has Fram changed their product? Who knows. I have allways used fram with no problems. Not only on my car, but on customers cars as well.
On another note. I have never seen an oil filter be the cause of valvetrain noise on startup. Lifters leaking down yes. Mabey if the car sat for a while. But even then its still not the filters fault.
