Would you run this Fram FPS3600?

[copcarguy]

Hey all!

I just bought this filter from rockauto. I noticed it has some glue "baked" on it in two different locations by the gasket. I wasn't able to scrape it off.

Would you run it? I've never seen this before on a filter...

I would run it-if you can't scrape it off it's unlikely that hot oil would take it off. Plus, if it did break loose, it's on the inlet side, the media would catch it.

+1, nothing to worry about.

 

[demarpaint]

Go for it.

 

[tomcat27]

scrape it off if you can; run it

 

[slacktide_bitog]

That is not a problem

I wouldn't give it a second thought.

What if it comes loose and holds the ADBV open? I bet I could get it off with a screwdriver, pocket knife, or some other implement of destruction.

I wouldnt use it. Filters are cheap insurance. Why risk it, id do a exhange if possible.

Something sharp like a pick could get that off.

Also probably some brake cleaner on a cotton swab will melt that off quick.

 

[Oildudeny]

if you're worried about it, buy one locally and swap it out then tell the cashier this item should not go back on the shelf.

I am sure that is the same glue that holds the whole filter together. If you are worried about that coming off, I would worry (not) about the whole filter falling apart.
