Default Oil filters are rip-off from the dealer

Saying Fram is junk is just like saying Polaris is junk. Both used to be but anyone with real experience with both knows this is no longer the case. I use Fram on everything I own with Pennzoil. I've used it on my Scrambler 500. Fram was half the cost and just as good (if not better) than a Polaris filter. Who makes that Polaris filter anyway?
My Ford truck has used Pennzoil with a Fram filter since the first oil change. It has 190,000 miles and runs like it just rolled off the assembly line. I'll know it's built Ford tough, but even the best equipment needs a good oil and filter to last that long.

you know why your truck still runs strong with 190,000 miles on it? cause its a ford they never die, they just go faster....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
