Thanks Tim, I agree about the quality of Fram Oil filters. I use AC Delco in most everything I own, race or street.
I still stand on my statement about Fram making many of Motorcrafts air filters. As for who sullies them with oil filters, you may be right on with your findings.
None the less, Motorcrat is not the manufacturer that many believe. In most cases that are merely a manupackturer...
Happy Motoring!
