Re: Mythbuster #777 Fram Oil Filters

Yes, but, also consider how small the particles are to be filtered, and fram is never on top. Here are two filters for my pontiac 455. Also, the K&N holds more oil and is taller, but you can probably find a fram to match it:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KNN-HP-2003/http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FRM-HP2/

K&N (i believe is a wix made filter?) 10 microns, 550psi burst
Fram 18 microns, 500 psi burst.

Not that there's much difference between those specs, but they're the same exact price. Why would you not get a filter rated higher burst and finer particle filtering for the same price even though your vehicle would likely never approach the maximum burst for either.
