Fram oil filters are the worst filters made for the money. Quality in the past was ok, but by todays standards they are just bad. They are $3-$4 filters that are constructed like dollar store filters. I have stopped using them and use Napa Gold filters which are made by Wix.
Heres a nice oil filter study so you can see what I mean.
