I could fill up an entire page with links dealing with anti-drain back problems, manufacturing defects, "never again" stories, and other assorted Honeywell/FRAM filter issues. Where there's smoke there's fire gentlemen and when you screw a FRAM on (excluding Ultra) you're playing with fire.

An actual mechanic who does nothing but change Frams all day just told the apologists why he hates them and the nickname came out of nowhere.

Flame suit on! Yesterday I drained my 0w-20 M1 (confirmed) and replaced with 0w-20 Valvoline at Hendrick Lexus of Charlotte and yes, it's smoother. The engine is back to being silk (instead of throaty with more cabin vibration) and merging into traffic left no doubt there is in fact a difference...

Something doesn't sit right with me about this.

Not unless I was in a serious bind. The media could be completely brittle by now.

Hello Everyone, Since my OP I've verified the transmission fluid is filled to the appropriate level. I did another drain and fill (I only get about 3 quarts each time, so far I've done 2 for a total of 6 quarts of fresh fluid). I still notice the slight (300-400 rpm) occasional shift flare only...

CVG probably won't ever recover from the Delta pullout but it's nice to see it's still an attractive location for a low cost carrier.

It sounds like you and your Father had a great relationship. Sorry to hear this and I second telling your Mom/Dad you love them every chance you get.

Thank you for your replies.

Fellas, I ask for your opinion on whether you'd rather have your vehicle made in Japan or in an American plant. Let's take loyalty out of the equation and say for example you had the choice between a made in Mississippi Corolla, and a made in Japan Scion... Would you go out of your way for...
