throw out ur FRAM. just cut mine open 2 oil changes ago and it was shit construction... it had soooo many less pleats than any other filter i found and my oil was always dirty...

I run Bosch or K&N... way better construction and filtration.

and the same price.

Re: poll: what oil filter do you use?

fram is definitely over rated garbage that people buy for some reason . if i could find it i would definitely use amsoil products they really are the best but there not easy to find so i use royal purple with synthetic micro glass royal purple filter.it filters at 25 microns

Re: poll: what oil filter do you use?

i would use amsoil if it werent so crazy expensive. fram is all marketing hype and advertisement, and its cheap thats why people buy it. i had people come in all the time for oil change supplies and 90% always asked for the fram filter. and if you turn the box over, the filtration rate is a measly 94%

So is it like Rodeo Sex? You know, where you’re with a girl from behind and then you whisper in her ear that her sister’s boobs feel firmer and have to hold on for more than 8 seconds.
