Then it's probably the same as O'Reilly Microguard filters. They are also made by WIX. I will have been with O'Reilly four years in May and have yet to see a bad Microguard filter. Not saying there aren't any. There are defective parts in all brands, but as of yet, I have not seen one in Microguard. If all these cheaper filters were so "bad" you'd see it all over the internet. I have seen a lot of bad stories regarding Fram. Never had a bad experience with Fram because I don't use them.
