You ask WTF?

As mentioned before... Fram and STP sell regular quality filters. So does Mobil 1. They are all in the $10 - $11 range, but you get what you pay for. They are of lessor quality than the old OEM paper filters and not nearly as good as the newer fleece filter, which sell for $18.50 at the dealerships.

Remember, you're dealing with an engine that the manufacturer list oil change intervals at 7,000 miles, or whatever the FSS shows. A cheap paper filter will not hold up.

You want cheap? The Crossfire ain't. It is an expensive car to maintain from oil filters to tires and everything in between.
