I've been scared of Fram ever since a feller told me he did a oil change with one and it blew his engine up. Seems they forgot to punch the return holes in it and the oil couldn't circulate .
When I had my 86 Monte Carlo, I used a Fram filter once. Changed oil and filter and fired it up and was checking for leaks. Oil was spraying from the filter gasket...I checked the old filter to make sure the gasket didn't come off; old filter still had the gasket. Pulled the new fram filter off and gasket had come unglued from the housing and rolled a bit. Haven't even picked up a Fram filter since then
