I used Fram for many years after a Consumer Reports test that placed them significantly ahead of the others. This was 15 years or more ago and times have changed, as the Fram filters have deteriorated in construction quality. The filtration medium is not the issue, but the seals and other materials used in their construction, which can leak internally and bypass the filter medium.
I stopped using Fram for this reason, starting with my present Aero, though I think their higher-end filters may be acceptable. Personally, for a difference of a few dollars every 6-8 months I can't see skimping on filters any more than I do paying $3/qt. more for synthetic over fossil oil. I'll stick with the synthetic-fiber offerings.
