He says Wix was the best filter out there. Dunno if they were makin K&N oil filters yet and I never cut one apart.

If you ever get a chance to cut open a Wix filter and a Fram of the same type you will see the difference. The Fram will have a lot less filter media (pleated paper) inside. I've told a lot of customers that I wouldn't even run a Fram filter on my lawn mower ;D
