Nothing but WIX for years, ever since I cut open about 3 different filters. Never use anything else. Even for my fuel filters.

DON'T USE FRAM!!!!!!!
I use MANN, or KFM, pure one is good, K&N is good and Mobil is good (those are pricey though)

Will the NAPA Gold 1515 fit a 1992 with the oil filter opening facing down?
What a **** poor design! How do you remove it with out getting oil all over the place? And how do you fill the filter to prime it, you have to flip the filter down and there goes all your oil you just put in the filter!!
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???????????

I personally only use Mobil 1 Filters. I've heard the Mopar brand are good also. Had the same low pressure issue. The Mobil 1 filter fix it and also netted me around +50 miles to a tank.

Priming the filters is nice to do but not necessary and with the upside down setup.. it really is impossible..
just have a can of brake cleaner and spray it all off afterwards...
I should use a mobil or something else this time.. I have great oil pressure but when it gets warm the oil pressure drops alot.

Frams are junk. The endcaps are cardboard and held to the filter material with glue. The drainback valves are plastic and break easily. I won't use them. If you search oil filter reviews on google, there are lots of articles with pictures backing me up.
