According to them Fram Xtended Guard. The rest of the Fram filters didn't do so well.

Just based on my personal experience with man oil filters, any test claiming an ACDelco filter is worse than any Fram filter (much less every other useable filter) is invalid.

Mobil 1 and FRAM "ExtremeGuard" both beat the RP...apparently.

They are. I'd run a ac before I would ever run a fram. I just run wix on everything. It's a good all around filter.

Nice. I still think I'll use K&N until a problem arises.
