Goes back to an independent study done on oil filters (flow bench, burst pressures, filtration, etc.). The thread with the link is floating around here, so use search and see if you can find it. Fram filters are akin to putting a brick in your oil system. They allegedly filter VERY poorly and end up starving the engine of oil...

...which is the LAST thing the Duratec needs.
