I used to use Fram until I changed the oil in my wife's Odyssey one day. Took the old filter off, spun the new one on, refilled with oil. She went to the store and called me on her cell phone because her oil light came on. Upon closer inspection, the rubber gasket at the end from the old filter had baked onto the filter plate. I had "double gasketed" the new filter and oil was leaking from the poor seal.

Now I only use Hastings filters, or OEM. I wipe down the mounting plate as a confirmation that I checked and found nothing adhered to the plate. That was almost an expensive lesson to learn!
