RE" Far more odds are Frams are going to fail than other brands listed."
For the sake of discussion and because when I get off the computer I have to start stripping vinyl tile off the floor.

Do you have any facts that support your position? I have used the Frams since 1966, and I've yet to lose an engine. Can you substaniate your position? I'm no filter expert, and I don't care whats inside it as long as it does what it is suppose to. Are you old enough to remember that filter that used toliet paper? If memory serves me right, when ever you had to change the filter, you merely replaced the roll of toilet paper. Yet, people swore by those things. Ugggh.
