Other than size is there realy that much difference between one oil filter and the next? Every one I've ever taken off has the same threaded hole in the middle and the same perforations around it.

ive heard fram glues a carbdoard base to the back of the can, and the filter element is glued to the cardboard base. motorcraft uses stamped steel all the way around, apparently. Thats just what ive heard. dont hurt me. its my damn truck anyway so the fram is coming off because i said so bitches! lol

I have a question that seems to fit here. Why one brand of oil over the other? I realise different brands use different additives and the like but how much difference is there realy? The SAE sets standards for oil weights. So the weight of the oil is not going to vary from one brand to the next.
