But my point is, have you ever had an engine failure because you use Fram filters? Most likely no, so all the reading and "testing" doesn't truly validate your claims. I personally never liked Fram and always went with NAPA, AC Delco or Mobil 1 filters but I have never lost an engine either so I can't say anything bad about them. I have used Fram on occasion and did not lose the engine so I can't claim it's a bad filter. I have watched somebody wipe out a cam when they switched brands of oil so I would be more worried about the oil. Any part can have a defect which could lead to failure so don't jump to conclusions is my point.
