Hi Ron,
Thanks for the link. I've seen some other sites like this, but this
seems the most comprehensive. I've steered clear of Fram for years and
it's nice to see the my propensity toward AC Delco and Wix filters has
some grounding in quality.

Greg, If you're curious about oil filters, go to http://minimopar.knizefamily.net, clik on "engine" scroll down to "lubrication" then clik on "oil filter study". The guy is an electrical engineer/car gearhead who buys, cuts open, & analyzes various brands of oil filters. After reading & looking at the photos, I will NEVER use a Fram oil filter in anything I own! All oil filters have a bypass valve built in to allow oil to bypass the filtering element if; 1. the element is too dirty to allow adequate flow, or 2. the oil is cold & thick & won't pass through the element fast enough. The theory is better unfiltered oil than not enough oil. Ron Komoroski |
