Didn't we just have a nice big long thread where a lot of people were
saying that Fram had either cleaned up their act or never made a poor
quality product?  Looks like at least their VW filters are still shite.

it's really nice how the fram filter cost almost twice as much as the
bosch one, and fell
completely apart.

I dont doubt what you say, but it sounds a little inconsistent that
the end of the filter is caved in, and the filter was blown apart.

I avoid Fram nowadays, when I can.  I have never had one fail, but
feel that using Fram in the light of all the bad publicity is perhaps
foolish.
