When you see the cheap "paper" media Fram uses verses the Napa or the Wix you'll understand. The latter two won't collapse and block and by-pass your filter. You don't even know this is happening. so you are just blindly happy with a lower grade product. Just sayin' from years of mechanic experience and viewing engine failures. 
Hi Slabzilla,
Yep... I've read lots of posts by the "mechanics" and I understand the descriptions that they have posted about the "cheap" filter material. Fram is one of the largest oil filter manufacturers in the world. If there was a problem with their quality, we would hear about it by now.
Gnarls.
