Shame on you for giving out such misinformation!!!

Fram is on the LOWEST scale of any oil filters.

The word quality does not belong in the same sentence with fram.

LOL.
Haha...fair enough. I was close though..
Fram does suck dick. I watched my oil pressure go from under 10 psi to over 30 when I had my old 88.. swapped from a fram to a Mopar filter.

In my 2000 I run rotella t6, and Mopar filters. Engine is smooth as butter...provided it only has 92k

Many people do not know that the Mopar oil filter MO-090, and many others, are made in Zhejiang, that is near Shanghai if anyone wants to know.
If you want to buy 500, or more, units they do not cost very much.
You can have "made in USA" on them if you like, or change the name,
like "Super Jeep" on them.

I bought some axle seal samples from there. They were stamped, "USA", and were high quality. Not expensive also....

Mopar oil filters are made by Champion Labs to Chrysler's specs.

Ding. Champion Labs makes a lot of filters under different labels, as do many large faceless OEMs. Quality from China DOES exist, you just have to look for it. High-end smart phones are fantastic examples. Specifications and quality control are what separate Dollar Tree from Apple.

Yes, Quality China made products do exist. I have been to China several times. The products produced and sold there is alot different than
products made there and shipped here for resale.
