Dear Readers,
I work in the FRAM marketing department and led the team that developed our new SynWash Long Life Air Filter. I frequent this board quite and bit because like most of you I am interested in vehicle maintenance, but I also enjoy candid feedback from consumers about our products. I am posting today because our SynWash filter just hit the marketplace this past week and noticed a few posts about it. Not all of the information is correct so I wanted to give everyone the details.
The name SynWash is derived from "Synthetic Washable". The media is 100% synthetic fiber material which allows it to be washed, unlike cellulose fibers. The media was developed by our engineers and all models are manufactured in our FRAM air filter plant.
This filter is 99% efficient the day you put it in your vehicle, and it's 99% efficient after the 20th wash. We recommend washing it every 12k miles or once per year under normal driving conditions.
The urethane gasket is a special formula designed to withstand engine heat and resist soaking up water during washing. The stainless steel screen is also unique in than it is corrosion resitant.
SynWash is designed to be cleaned with common liquid dish soap. A spray bottle is included that attaches to a garden hose for cleaning. However, an additional washing method is provided on FRAM.com that entails soaking it in warm soapy water.
This filter is NOT to be confused with Air Hog or any other high performance filter. It is designed for high efficiency and engine protection in mind. It does not need oiling ever. We certainly hope that consumers will see the value in this filter not only in the longevity but in the protection it provides.
