Fram ph3614 c&p

[jimmyjamesndt]

2,750 Km ( 1700 mi ) 5W20 Valvoline R&P, topped off the oil that was lost, looks good to me for a $4 cdn oil filter, starting to really like carboard end caps.

 

[fantastic]

Spring looks near perfect, no ruffles, so it sealed well against the fiber end. This one looks good. Thanks

One of Frams top filters currently QC wise. Looks good! Thanks

Thanks! Looks better than most other Fram filters nowadays. There is a weird trend with M+H and First Brands I've noticed. The lower tier the filter, the better the build quality . The red Purolators look better than the gold ones, the orange Frams look better than the gold or silver ones.

 

[Fair enough]

That’s the previous version, now it’s like an ecore with major problems. It was changed fairly recently.

 

[jimmyjamesndt]

Yes, I like this version over the ecore one.

I think they flip back and forth on components because I have seen the ecore's come through some months..... then the next few months will be the metal core then later some ecore's will come back on the shelf etc...

Is that the OCOD? Orange Can Of Death. It resembles the blue colored Subaru OEM oil filter that I used to use. The blue Subaru oil filters are supposedly made by Fram.

Mine was made about March 2025, date code on top not on side is Champ Labs. Unusable as designed because the adbv didn’t cover all the base holes.

Another OCOD 3614 and a few mL of VRP, thanks for the compliment, I do try.

Orange cans of Delite are repainted for some OEM filters. Honda and Subaru use this style, it works, and it's cheaper to make

Very good sir. Thanks for additional info

Yeah, it is totally different baseplate than the Champ made Fram, easy to identify.
