fram filter are terrible!!
I used to be a lube tech for a honda dealership and everytime someone came in with a fram filter on their car i would definatly have to check for the gasket sticking...never had to worry about it with a factory filter...after working at a dealership i use nothing but factory parts on my car...everything else is all bad.

Absolutely. While I was working the counter at Toyota I realized how good most OEM parts are, especially scheduled maintenance items. Also, showing the dealer a bunch of receiots for OEM filters and stuff makes it much more difficult to dent warranty work. Also, they will never be "lowest bidder" quality. Stick with the good stuff. Aside from OEM htough, I've always been a believer in Bosch, although I hear they screwed up on EJ20 and EJ25 O2 sensor.
