Agreed.
If it were me responding to this thread I'd say something like.
Most people on here run a wix or napa gold (same thing really) and stay away from fram, they are very poor quality the anti-drain seal doesn't work causing dry starts. Oils vary from rotella 10w-30 to store brands. I personally run a wix and the rotella 10w-30. But if you do a little research you can find a ton of threads with lots of info on this.
See gives info on the topic and suggests the search function in a polite manner, I hope.

I agree. If a question is asked and you have nothing to contribute that actually helps just don't post. I get so tired of the search response and often feel like banning folks just for posting that.

Not that we dont want to help, its that before you ask for help you could try to find an answer for yourself. Searching would turn up plenty of results. No need to fill up the forum with threads covering the same topic over and over..even though it happens..daily.

With that being said..
I ran 10w30 Mobil 1 Full Syn and a mopar filter. FRAM blows, period.
Wix, BOSCH, Mopar. Oil is really a toss up.
