Fram Oil Filters 2017?

I still find it quite humorous how those cartridges invariably wind up costing more . . . to the customer, anyways . . . than the typical spin-on filters

Better for the environment . . . less metal to deal with . . . but worse for the pocketbook

And those oil change coupon specials often seem to exclude those cartridges

And a few months ago I even posted the video of the manufacturing process. The process to make the filter element is exactly the same as the cartridge filter. But then you eliminate a few steps and materials by skipping the process for the cartridge.

So why do they charge more? Because they can.
