[QUOTE=vstech;3399699]the made in turkey Fram is the best filter you can buy with ease... baldwin/hastings is the best filter you can buy period... none will get the 61x motors oil change interval above 7500 miles safely.

normal fram filters are junk, but the made in turkey fram 2930 filter is a quality spun cord bypass, not cotton gin bug and dirt junk in a basket...

if it were me, and those were the choices, I'd go with the baldwin 3 pack, and be done.
I'd only get the fram if they were local. PepBoys stocks them.[/QUOTE]

This was over about 5 Years ago in the various Oil Filter threads it was said some of the Fram CH2930 Filters came from Turkey but there was also the same Filter made in Mexico that did not have the same internal construction.
Meaning the buyer needs to read the Box and or look on the Filter itself to see where it is made.
