It does matter if you like to have that added protection and assurance. The cheap filters suck. I only run Mobil1 or HAMP filters.

Fram is the worst design oil filter I have ever seen. After I cut one open compared to everything else I started using WIX filters, then I just got into using Mobil1 filtters since I can get them from work.
