So, what's the problem? The end caps are cardboard...is that the issue? My truck has 460,000 miles on it and runs Fram oil and air filters. Don't buy the expensive = better argument.

so after watching the STP, Mobil 1, Purolator, Fram, Bosch, Amsoil .... the only differences are the end caps on some. The Amsoil and Wix have a spring instead of rubber anti-drain back, and the Amsoil has a synthetic (not paper) filter.
I've seen Amsoil being fairly popular on the internet. Is the synthetic filter the reason? For $16, I'll stick with OEM.

I buy like 5 filters at a time from hyundaioemparts.com for $4.90 per filter which is cheaper than aftermarket filters. Almost every filter I have tried caused excess HLA noise compared to OEM.
