[Bricklin] Oil filter

[George Curley]

It's amazing that people still buy Fram filters at all.  The updated 
study web site still lists Fram among the worst filters on the market.  
The Fram Extra Guard, Fram Double Guard, and Fram High Mileage are all 
still included in the "Filters To Avoid" section.  The "Fram Tough 
Guard" is acceptable because it "didn't have enough bad qualities to 
cause me to tell others to avoid it."
