I avoid Fram for a couple reasons - super hyped marketing and high prices for their better products (at least locally), combined with information I read in the past about design/quality issues (horror stories). They are marketed as a premium product here, but I'm not convinced that they are that great, though perhaps that is water under the bridge by now. I believe the better FRAM filters locally are at least as expensive as Mobil1!
I would get Purolator or Wix if it was easy locally. I should probably check to see if there are good options online within Canada, but it really does not make sense to ship in oil/filters from the other side of the border. I do use Mann filters in my c900 but they don't have the larger size ones locally that I use in the 9-5...
It would be cheaper if I bought them by the case, so maybe that is what I will need to do in the future. Even at $11-12 on sale was getting kind of steep for a mobil1 filter...
