I'll try to have faith though, maybe the plain white jane filters were WIX.
I think for the most part a everyday run if the mil street engine probably wouldn't be hurt by a fram but when you run a HV pump zing it up to 6500+ RPMS and use thick 20W50 oil is when it becomes a problem, their media cant handle that kinda flow and pressure and breaks down.
Not to mention their anti drain back valve never works, thats why you hear them rods clatter when you first fire the motor up till the filter fills back up with oil, a good oil filter like a wix or a pure one wont do that .

That's not the case with Fram. My 94 Chevy ( 350) with only 70k miles was bone stock when the Fram filter collasped.
