I have had good luck with Fram oil filters. I ran my 87 chevy S-10 4 cyl up to 200,000 miles using Frams. I changed the oil every 6,000 miles up to 100,000 and then every 5,000 miles after that. The rocker arms still looked new at 200,000.

The only problem I ever had is when I bought one for my wife's Honda Accord and the Fram was smaller than the factory filter. I didn't use it and use a new factory filter.
