Just curious... what's wrong with the Fram filter?

Last time I changed mine, the regular shop I go to was out of the Mercedes filter, so I had to settle for the Fram filter at Kragen Auto Parts. It seemed better constructed than any other Fram filter I've ever seen.

I use the topsider. The only problem is I purchased the 6 quart topsider, so I have to dump out some of the oil from it halfway through.

TIP: When unscrewing the cover on the oil filter, make sure you have a rag or paper towel around the seam so that as the threads come up the oil doesn't run down the side of the oil filter housing.
