This is true. On the oil/filter message board they call it the orange wall of death - when all the Fram filters are stacked on a store shelf. It has to do with the cheap way they are made - for your usual metal spin-on filter.

But the Fram CH8278 is the cartridge style. I would not expect to see the bad features of the typical Fram spin-on on the Fram cartridge style. But then, I have never see this filter in person. Think I will buy one just to see what it is like. I searched on the oil/filter message board and there is nothing about his filter.

Wix has a good reputation. I was impressed with the Wix filter when I did my "review." The Wix went into my car.
