Don't be fooled by fram. I'm not tryin to knock a product I've never used but my friends are in an automotive class at the highschool I went to and they cut apart a fram oil filter and a regular napa oil filter and the fram looked a lot cheaper inside and was obviously inferior. I will however stick up for K&N. they are more expensive, but my truck tends to plow oil filters apart on start up(haven't yet found out why) and K&N is the only one i can find that will hold up to it.

According to all of the stuff I have read in the Oil forum it seems they prefer Motorcraft.

We used to run KN on the pulling truck and then switched back to motorcraft FL-1A HP. The HP's are a little more expensive, but they work pretty decent. I started running them on the street truck as well.

I only use Motorcraft. I can get them for less than $5 a piece (CANADIAN) at the dealership. A little more expensive than the other brands but worth it.

Ditto on Motorcraft. I'd be running them on my truck now if a gave a rip about the 460 in there.
