I think this is the reality of Fram oil filters. Ever since those reports first came out and everyone realized they build the orange can filter to meet a price target, everyone flipped out and acted like they're suddenly garbage. But if they were that bad, at the volume of filters they sell, there should be no shortage of horror stories.
I won't buy a Fram orange can, but only because they charge too much for what it is. Any other manufacturer at the same price (Wix, Motorcraft, etc) is better quality, and you can get the same quality for a fraction of the price (Pronto, etc) from Rockauto.
