The Formula 1 synthetic filter from Canadian tire (Motomaster) is made by Fram
but sold exclusively through CT.
This filter combines the stronger case of the Fram Toughguard, with a hybrid,
synthetic/cellulose fibre blend to achieve a 97% SPE rating and the mounting
gasket is PTFE (teflon) for ease of removal.
At 97% SPE (single pass efficiency measures the amount of harmful particles,
10-20 microns in size, that are trapped by the filter on a first pass), it
ranks
above most every other major filter available.
The drawback is gambling on the quality control of FRAM, which is considered
inconsistent.
