which oil filter
I have a question to ask all of you. I have been using Fram filters for years but I see nothing but negative remarks from everyone. What do you think of K&N oil filters? I just bought one instead of the Frams that seem to be everywhere.

Thanks for the links Sudsrat, they showed exactly why Fram sucks. I put my K&N oil filter on and am not all that impressed. The gasket seems stiffer than normal and I noticed oil dripping off the front diff. even after cleaning the area under the filter and tightening it with the filter wrench which I normally never do. I think I'll stick with Motorcraft or Napa.

Stick with Motorcraft filter. Cheaper than the FRAM filters at Wal Mart and way better. I switched after the second oil change I did from FRAM to Motorcraft. Also, started using Chevron Supreme which is a Syn Blend which is cheaper than most Dino oil from Wal Mart.
