Does an engine need to fail for there filters to be garbage? Do a quick google search w/ fram filters and engine failure and you might find something lol.

You claim, or at least it looks like you're, that to have an opinion about an oil filter one must first lose an engine to conclude that the filter is bad/inferior is asinine, IMO. If you believe that, and you believe that all filters are equal until one messes up our engine then so be it. However I'm not one of those people.

So if I posted that using Exxon gasoline will cause you to lose and engine because it's cheap gas and will cause your pistons to sieze you would never use Exxon then? My point is that you can't claim stuff without your own proof. Reading what someone has posted on the web is definitely helpful for you to make decision's but you can't claim those conclusions yourself.
