Jay is a busy man.
FRAM decided they can get more product support and advertising from ZeeOSix and 901Memphis without even paying a dime.

They say that a joke has to have a little bit of truth to it for it to be funny. Your statement was hilarious!

I'm touched that my user name was mentioned.

I've linked the thread about 3 different times where he gave the flow info and it was all digested and talked about.
Here it is again ... read from here --> Link

LOL! 'King, Z', and 901', all on the cover! I hope 901' doesn't have another call-out to have me banned for saying that.
Fram's lawyers probably shut 'King down.

That or he grew tired of constantly reading all of the lame jabs at FRAM and decided he had something better to do with his time.

My guess is this:
50% what you state
50% that when truly challenged with detailed, specific questions he struggled to give competent answers at times.
IMO he's good at this job. His job is to promote some knowledge flow while encouraging sales. He's a sales-tech; he's not an engineer in a manner that I can discern. I harbor no ill-will; he does his job well. Those that don't like him simply don't understand what his job is.
I, myself, have had to rethink my position on Fram, especially the OCOD. I used it exclusively when I was younger. Then I became fearful of the "cardboard" caps. Now, I understand that it's all a means to an end. Because I run longer OCIs, my new "go to" filter is the TG for $6 at W/M. Very hard to beat that for the long runs I do.
Why Jay has left the building is anyone's guess. I would prefer to think he's just tired of this, as opposed to being sickly or some other malady. Never wish that on anyone.

I did not have that vibe as he always answered my questions behind the scenes--and was incredibly fast and diligent at doing so (though he may have been consulting engineers and that is fine by me). The fact that he, representing FRAM, even came onto the board in whatever capacity, speaks volumes about the company itself. While the seriousness of the Purolator tearing issues is subjective and debatable, what is not debatable is the "vapor-ware" attitude of Purolator--where is their rep (in any capacity)? For better or worse, no matter what was slung at him, at least Jay did attempt to answer any and all questions.

Exactly 2010 FX4. IMO he was an asset to the board, and very helpful. He wasn't an engineer, but given a little time he could consult one if needed.
At least Fram made an attempt here, that's more than I can say about Purolator with their recent history. I guess ignoring their issues was the path they took. As a result they lost my business to Fram.

Bingo,
I don't know why he put up with the hate thrown at him here as long as he did. He's been absent for periods of time in the past, so he may yet be back, but If he isn't I'd wager he is simply fed up with the idiocy.
He asked nicely if we could just refer to the orange can by its proper name and not the derogatory vernacular and BITOG couldn't even give him that little concession.

I completely agree with this entire post. I enjoyed Motorking's posts, personally. I appreciated his insight, especially compared to Purolator's head-in-the-sand approach.

On this escape there is no gauge only an oil light and it seemed to go off just as fast as with the motorcraft and maybe a second faster. I will say screwing this ultra filter on seemed to fit perfectly. So good that i stopped screwing it on and backed it off and put the motorcraft back on to see and feel if it was in my head and the motorcraft was good but not as good as the fram. So far i like it.
Some real science here.

I hope Motorking is well.
I do have to admit his posts were generally fine and helpful.
I always thought he should have become a site sponsor instead of lurking around like a regular member.
But it was all the sycophants clustered around him that were the problem.
Maybe all this [censored] kissing will bring him back...
