We got curious about this a while back at work and cut a bunch of different brands open just to see what was in them and all I can say is that if you saw how a Fram is put together you would never buy another one, they are nothing but cardboard, glue, and paper. Most of the other brands looked kind of similar with the exception of the Purolator which seemed much better built. But the one that really surprised us was the cheapest of the bunch, Supertech. They are actually a really well constucted filter, silicon valve, and plenty of filter element surface.They are made by Champion by the way as we found out with a little digging. If money was a concern I would opt for the Supertech after seeing the inside of all those filters and had to choose between the low to mid priced ones.

good find for sure, although I have a stock pile of Mobile 1 and K&N filters I have to stick with amsoil based on the flow design.
