Im not trying to argue with you nor defend Fram but I've never seen a thread here saying "my engine is dead because of my Fram oil filter." I also didnt recommend him using a Fram filter either because everyone says they suck. I've used them in the past at random times with no ill effects as far as I can tell but I always try to get either Mazda filters or Bosch.
Why did Fram sue Kellogs?! Im guessing this involves some of the cardboard Fram uses?

fram didnt really sue kellogs, just common knowledge that the filtering element in fram filters is recycled cereal boxes

I finally got the Greddy Oil Filter relocation kit removed tonight. What a pain!
I don't have a jack or stands yet. To drain the oil I did what I do to drain the oil in my sailboat's diesel engine. I used a pump. It actually worked really well in the FD. I have a hand pump that pumps the oil out of the dipstick tube into a container. It pumped it dry. I actually got more oil out of the car than I expected (a bit of a mess).
There is a lot more room there now without that kit. I ended up using Penzoil 5W-30W dino for my oil and a K&N filter. I am going to think about switching to a synthetic in the future, but this should work fine for now. My engine should be happy, new oil and filter twice in a couple hundred miles.
Anyone want to buy a used Greddy Oil Filter relocation kit?

There was a website out there that did a great breakdown of the different filters available on the market, which ones were made by the same companys and labeled differently, which were good, which were so-so, and which flat out scared the guy doing the comparison 
. I'm sure someone has it handy because I've long since lost the link myself
