Hey there,

Honestly, before we start doing all this stuff
of IT'S THIS FILTER THAT IS THE PROB, why not
put down the model of cars that people had probs
with when telling what filter they used. FRAM
may be garbage, it might seem that way.
Although, I have used it for a long time in my
car with no probs. Besides, when I do an oil
change I not only pull the oil plug I punch holes
in the oil filter to drain out that last of the
oil. EVERYTIME it has been full.
Honestly, I'll take some time in EXPERIENCE
before someone with an ENGINEERING DEGREE.

The only reason I would get rid of a car is if
the PARTS (not the labor) became more then the
cars value. By that time the car already has at least 10-14 years on it. Usually by that time
the cars are only worth ~$300. This is not because the car is in bad shape, just it's age
reduces the value it holds.
All in all for me to be convinced give me these
specs:
1) OIL WEIGHT
2) OIL FILTER (Brand & Model)
3) MAKE/MODEL/YR of car used
4) TIME OF YEAR USED
5) MILEAGE of car
6) OCI
Then we will start to see a picture.

You have to keep in mind the position of the filter moreso than the model of car. if the filter is mounted hole-side-up, then yes, it should be full of oil. if it is a side mount or inverted filter, thats where the ADBV makes or breaks the filter, and thats when you get the "no-oil-in-the-filter" syndrome from. so it is only natural that those vehicles will be the ones having the probs.

Tim H -

In addition to the way the filter is mounted I think you also have to consider how high it is mounted - for instance on the PT Cruiser the filter is mounted sideways, but it is very low, about the bottom of the oil pan, so it should also remain full......

And if it is that low, theoretically, it should not need an ADBV, Right?

 

[John K]

I assume that is correct.....

well heck!! I guess a FRAM would work in that!!


sorry, couldn't resist!
