OMG nooooooooo, you mentioned the f word, to quote Ned Beatty in Deliverence before "it" happened, "oh no, not that" stay away from Fram with it's cardboard end caps. Go here http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html to learn about oil filters, I have my pics of the Mopar filter cut away on my first change in one of the oil threads. Synthetic all the way, 5w20 only. Btw, I used fram in college 25 years ago with no problems but their construction is so poor I don't even use them of my $500 beater much less on my $36K hemi. Having never had a problem is like saying I have'nt used seat belts for 30 years and never had a wreck, you might just need that belt tomorrow, it's all about risk and I won't risk my hemi to save a few$ on a filter. An excellent NAPA Gold or Silver (Wix) can be had for $5 or Mobil 1 for $11.
