Fram Synthetic Motor Oil???

[Vince_R]

So I was going to see about ordering some oil for my van. I wanted something different that you can't find in stores, Like Eneos or something like that. And i came across Fram Motor Oil. Fran Motor Oil? I did not know there was such a thing. And i can't find it on there website or anywhere else. And its even a synthetic. What is this madness!!!

http://www.amazon.com/FRAM-1057025-Full-Synthetic-Motor/dp/B0040J1IYO

Anyone with any info on this?

Right in your link to Amazon is a link to view "other products by ConocoPhillips."

Well, at least its from a repituable company. I should have noticed that

.

But sitll, givin the overwhelming market share of fram filters, You would think that you would see this on shelves. I have never seen it before.

I think its still pretty new.

I betcha it will sell like wild fire once people catch on. The general public love Fram. Conoco Phillips is good oil, though,

and if you'll notice, it the same shaped bottle as motorcraft and kendall..

Do the bottles have cardboard end caps?

No but each bottle has a [censored] filter in it.

They do indeed, though I'll never understand why. I suppose that given so many people are terrible for having OCs done when they should be (and checking fluid levels), a fresh OCOD with their orange bottled oil is a step up from not changing it at all.

What a combo...."before you slam it, Fram it!"

There was a thread on this before- Fram synthetic Baby!

I'm guessing the FRAM filters sell so well is due to their name and prescense. Honeywell has lots of money to throw at advertising and SHELF SPACE in the big box retailers....shelf space is money, FRAM/Honeywell actually pays for it And well, in that area, the likes of WIX and such (other quality, bargain filters) have nothing against when it comes to "bidding" for shelf space against the likes of Fram/Honeywell.....

Just my take anyways

But yea, my Local WM has like 80% FRAMs.....there's a couple Mopar filters, some of the more common Motorcrafts, and then a couple shelves of SuperTech(Champion Labs?) filters....but that's about it....majority, FRAM.

Name recognition. Same thing with the Homelite [censored] that still gets sold at the box stores.

 

[Scienceman]

yep exactly.
