i like the fram for the sure grip... i use it on my other vehicles, but tests have shown that fram's suck. i used discount auto parts store brand stuff. it has the fram stuff all over it. and discount products are pretty much ac, like the oil.

Listen up, Ive always recommened the longer version filters mentioned. It holds a 1/2 extra oil which is a total of 6 now when you change your oil and it allows more oil in the pan when under extreme launching loads. Of course it sticks out a hair past the pan, but most of us have long tube headers or exhaust that it will hit and crush before it gets the filter. Its a wise investment for the longer filters if you dont want to spin a bearing.
