I had to rebuild the engine in my Trans Am because a Fram filter came apart and pluged the oil pick up thus starving the engine for oil. Lucky for me because the previous owner did it and I got the car cheap and put a new engine in it for $700.
I've heard of many times when a fram filter's cardboard breaks loose and little particles jack up the engine. I would never put one of those on my car
