only issue is finding stock. my area services a ton of dealerships/shops and the carquest filters are all they buy

Any waves = TOTAL FAIL ! @ZeeOSix has been preaching this to us a while now, get with the program gang.

Brendan, thanks for the cut and posts, great work. Where did you get those textured rubber gloves? I had some just like them given to me and finally used them all up, I need some more.

But, but it's a Fram=No longer a big deal. "it's not a beauty contest" he says.

advance auto is where i get them, they are the only gloves i can stand to use. still can’t grip an oil filter with them but they’re the best in everything else.

Two threads have been merged. These are two separate filters, but of the same filter number.

Thanks, Brendan, for the tip on the gloves, I have one nearby and am in there fairly regular.

You guys have it twisted backwards too, lol. I've said wavy pleats are a not a big deal to worry about on any filter. It is only a beauty contest. So stop twisting this up. Now overly wide pleats, which is not the same thing as wavy pleats, can be a concern for obvious reasons.

I've never said wavy pleats constitute a "fail". I've said many times it's NOT an indication of a "fail", and also has no real connection to quality. Show me where I've said or claimed wavy pleats means a "failure". They may not look good in the C&P "beauty contest", but it's not a "failure". Some others here have that mindset, but I don't if you read a bit better.

So you're saying that Fram twisted pleats are okay because of the media they use does not tear easy.
Got it
So when Fram gets around to cheapening the media what's stopping it from tearing then when it twists..

 

[ZeeOSix]

I've said many times that wavy pleats are not an issue on any filter, unless the media tears. But as discussed many times, widely spaced pleats can obviously tear, but if wavy pleats are not widely spaced they won't tear. It's not rocket science, and this has been discussed many times. Wavy pleats are only a visual aspect that don't cause any issue except to get the "beauty contest judges" upset.

Where have I ever said wavy pleats are a "fail". That's what some others here think. I say the opposite.

People who stop buying it. Just like people stopped buying Purolators when they started tearing.

No louvers in these Titaniums. What's the date code on these?

@KCJeep wanted me to ask you that if these filters had louvers would that have stopped them from failing?
