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.

John, thank you so very much for this!
I didn't even know Pep Boys sold parts and had locations here in the Valley! This lead me to finding a hardware store.
So the days haul includes two FRAM filters and M4x6mm bolts.
Somewhere I got that idea of 10,000... Guess since I lost the note of when I did the oil change, better to be safe and just change it. Now I have a moleskine in the door pocket.
Got all the big trips, major repairs, and notes in it.

Meaning the buyer needs to read the Box and or look on the Filter itself to see where it is made.

Thank you for the reminder. Of the many sources I have checked, all that seem available are made in Turkey. I checked at least one I bought today.
So thankful for y'alls help!
I am at a low in live and nice to be reminded there are nice people out there.
