This is super enjoyable to read these comments. Mr. Dun Right is a YouTube troll using idiots and alarming titles to make $$$$ from the click bait fools. Honestly there is no hope for folks who judge any kind of auto parts from watching idiots like him on Youtube. I couldn't say that while I...

Don't do that, I am not here to promote that. I have many fine friends and associates who still work there

Hello fellow BITOG'ers, Afraid to say my time with FRAM has come to an end. The Trico Group (yes, the wiper company) has purchased FRAM Group and promptly let the entire sales and marketing staff go. Still happy to answer general filter/spark questions but I am forbidden from commenting on any...

Originally Posted by gonefishing I was looking at the specs on the XG10575 on Fram's website: http://www.fram.com/parts-search/XG10575/ I noticed the bypass valve setting pressure lists 16-28. I could have sworn that this filter had a 9-15 PSI setting the last time I looked. I have ran this...

Amsoil and Royal Purple both have disclaimers on the capacity(mileage) ratings along with the fact they are single layer synthetic media filters, FRAM Ultra is two layers of synthetic media

Originally Posted by goodtimes If it wasn't an Ultra the talk would be all about how easy the caps came off, and that's no good. Motorking himself stated once they have to use metal retainer caps on the Ultra because of bonding. Then they came out with cartridges like these. Oh well they do hold...

Originally Posted by SubieRubyRoo I'd still love to see a filter made with the Wix-style construction for the ADBV interface, Fram Ultra media, thread-end bypass with 24-27 psi rating, and solid endcaps on the dome end with a coil spring. Make it in 3593A size, and I'll buy dozens of them for...

My garage did the same. I have three heated walls and uninsulated garage doors. I insulated the crap out of the doors with fiberglass batts, condensation problem was reduced tremendously, garage and house are much warmer as well. Not completely fixed but huge improvement.

It could not. The center tube is what supports the media when oil is flowing through it. The SAE spec is no collapse at up to 75psi differential pressure. Even cartridge filters have a center tube built into the housing. It is an essential part of the filter cartridge regardless of media...

Originally Posted by 2strokeNorthstar Yeah what happened to the TG bypass screen? That's when they were marketed to 4x4 off road trucks along with Quakerstate 4x4 oil. We got rid of it, was a thing nobody seemed to care about. Our Racing and High Performance filter has a high flow bypass with a...

Originally Posted by Ablebody Good eye, goodtimes, there sure is a hole in the endcap around the center tube. Hmmmm, not good. Please explain how that would allow unfiltered oil into the engine? You cannot because it will not. Path of least resistance, that hole is covered by the leaf spring...

Absolutely. Thick oil will not get into the tiny bearing clearances of modern cars, causing way to much heat and bearing wear. I once put 20w50 mobil 1 in my CTS-V that called for 5w30. It went into limp in mode while driving at freeway speeds and oil temp shot up to 245 degrees

Originally Posted by crazy_raccoon I stopped using the FRAM in cabin filters with the carbon because the airflow decreased a lot in both our vehicles. Sure it blocked out a lot of nasty stuff but it blocked the air also. Turning up full blast felt like it was halfway turned up and is making the...

FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin filters have activated carbon and arm and hammer baking soda to trap odors, not saying you car stinks or anything!
