I was going to run the FRAM XG on my toyota for a "longer 7-8K OCI with M1 10w30 HM, but two problems cropped up:
1) Fram XG Filter could only be tightened < 2 turns due to the concave baseplate.
2) Excessive startup noise and noisy, powerless warmed engine on the road.
The FRAM filter was in service for about 4 days, I had a BOSCH/Purolator in my used filter "evidence locker" that I put back in service. The Bosch was removed last Winter (after a couple days service) due to startup noise and VVI cam phasing issues when running M1 AFE. This filter could only be tightened bypass around the nipple threads since its a loose class 3/4"-16 UNC thread fit. No Problems with WIX51396/94 or original equipment Japan OEM Denso 90915-10003. 90915-Yzzf2 Thai denso give me NO oil pressure!? I'm done with FRAM with THIS car.
