> Fram filters are NOT OEM for Alfa. At the plant where I worked we made
> "original replacement" filters for several makes, among these were Mazda,
> VW and Honda. HOWEVER, these filters were NOTHING like the original
> filters. Bosch filters were original to VW and completely different in
> design, intricate and beautifully made NippoDenso's were original to many
> Japanese makes. Yes, several makes of filter would be listed in parts
> books as replacements without regard to quality - they merely had to meet
> one particular lab testing spec. Fram has an Italian plant that markets
> under the name "FIAM", these share nothing with North American FRAM -
> there is no similarity whatsoever and I have no info as to their quality.
> I don't know what you mean by the "new small ones".
