Gonna see what napa has to offer up here.
The oem cartridge comes with both rubber seals and a new crush washer for the drain plug.
I too still use the cartridges..I really don't mind doing so..the spin-on kits never appealed to me after I had started working on my Mazda.

With that said, I've used STP strictly..not to say they are much better than FRAM..if at all.

But I'll look into NAPA and see what they have to offer us, non-spin'on'ers

The cartridges are basically just the guts of a can without all the supporting stuff, which is where the separation from crap to quality comes from in my eyes. From one manufacturer to another there is not a huge difference. From what I have personally seen all use paper filter media, all use rubber gaskets, and have about the same amount of filter mass. I will keep looking for a superior one, but until then from one brand to another I don't think you could really go wrong.
