I have heard and somewhere on this www thier was or is a site that did all sorts of filter testing. Wix came out first but can not find one. An alternative is a NAPA GOLD filter, apperantly they are made by WIX just rebranded. The Ford filters held up great. Fram failed terribly. I will try and find the link for you. good luck.

found it: http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html Not sure how legit all that info is, but someone once told me whatever I read on the internet is true. Peace.

"Good oil filters - K & N, SuperTech(Wal-mart), Casite, Napa Gold, Mobil 1,
Motorcraft, Purolator, Wix"
- from a pretty reliable source.

i have used fram oil filters in the past, but not the regular ones, get the double gaurd or what ever they are called if you go with fram.
