The Boss has been rated, by PUROLATOR, to only be 99% @ 46 micron efficiency. That puts all his results into question. We have better information here...How is it useless? There was actual testing all throughout the video. I don't understand why everyone here craps all over anything people try to do to help others make decisions.
Once the "free" stimulus works it's way through the system, deflation is likely to ensue... And the Fed's big interest rate runup made it worse, there's a lot of paper out there that is not necessarily backed by an ability to pay, lots of people upside-down.I think this is already happening. Once people stop buying due to maxed out credit cards, it will then trigger a recession.
Based on Fram's ISO 4548-12 efficiency claim, it's rated at 99+% >20u base on these three filter models: FE8A, FE3387A and FE4967. That's the same efficiency rating as the Fram Ultra, so it should rank the same as the Ultra ... maybe a hair better since the Endurance has a higher holding capacity which means it probably has a little less dP as it loads up.I wonder how the Fram Endurance would have performed? I just bought two of those.
Thanks for the great explanation. I appreciate it!

I often check closeouts and recently placed an order for a bunch of needed items off the closeout section from RA. I did include several Motorcraft oil filters for my older Fords for 3.89 and 5.27 each.Rockauto and ebay often have more normal prices, but the shipping is what gets you, so it's kind of all the same.
I realize everyone knows this but I have to type it anyway. Thats a 15% increase overnight.FE3614 got raised to 14.97 from 12.97 at my local walmart during my morning visit today.
I would not think in the overall scheme of running and maintaining a car or light truck that whether an oil filter you will use for 5000 costs $5 or $10 would matter much.I was floored when I recently saw Motorcraft FL1A's at Walmart for over $12 each. I remember buying them not long ago for under $5. I am considering running filters for two changes because I am too cheap.
So your OK If everything you bought went up 15% overnight? No different really, other than you can absorb it for one item.I would not think in the overall scheme of running and maintaining a car or light truck that whether an oil filter you will use for 5000 costs $5 or $10 would matter much.
Two years from now, the comparative "cost" will be back down since wages will have gone up.
Nothing to see here.
DUDE, the Fed interest rate was near ZERO for like ten years.... the Feds were in BIG trouble, we needed higher interest rates, cause the next downturn cycle, you cannot lower interest rates to stimulate the economy if they are already at ZERO.Once the "free" stimulus works it's way through the system, deflation is likely to ensue... And the Fed's big interest rate runup made it worse, there's a lot of paper out there that is not necessarily backed by an ability to pay, lots of people upside-down.
I might look for other ways to save money but going to a cheaper brand of oil filter would not be one of the ways. I have a small list of the oil filters I would consider using. I will buy one on the list, hopefully on sale. Probably never get one from the "economy" section on RockAuto.So your OK If everything you bought went up 15% overnight?

Probably because of the inconvenient truth about unregulated corporations' greedflation. It counts for over half of the inflation index, yet most ignore that they are bragging about the record profits.I wonder why????
I have not seen anyone whose engine failed for using a lower cost filter to save money. 95% efficiency versus 99%, not a big deal to me.I might look for other ways to save money but going to a cheaper brand of oil filter would not be one of the ways.
