I have always used Napa Gold (Wix) filters... they are on par with Bosch
price wise. I suppose the only real way to know which is better is to
have the oil analyzed... I just recently bought 4 Bosch filters for the
Ram (have the Napa Gold on there now) because I got a good deal on them
vs regular retail price. Guy I work with seems to think Bosch filters
are better than Wix. (shrug)
I hate Fram... don't even get me started.
