my opinion is that if someone has the motivation to do multiple write ups about how shitty one certain brand of oil filter is, why would you take the risk? ****** no brainer to me. i'm not gonna talk **** but why even think about it?

 

Fram = Suck



Id shove a rag in that hole before I let a Fram filter my oil





Mobil1 20w50 and a Mobil1 filter

 

regardless the fact remains that millions of people use Fram filters

and do not blow up thier engines.



Just discussing this

 

Yes you do. You use a lighter weight oil for colder weather. Its easier on your engine.

 

Regardless, the fact remains that millions of people have torn apart fram filter only to find severely inferior build and filtering capabilities.





If millions of people jumped off a bridge, would you?





Its not like Im just spewing crap out here. Theres been research done. I thought everyone knew by now that fram makes bad filters.

 

Mobil One 20w50 Synthetic. I bought the fram because I did not want to wait for a damn OEM mazda oil filter to come in the mail. Fram filter is working fine for me.

I have probably put 400 miles on it so far, and it has not given me problems yet.



Just prove that Fram filters have blown up engine because of filtration problems. Not that some guy in bumfucknowheres cracked open fram filters and said they sucked. That is a bunch of horseshit. But just conversating.

some guys with nothing to do opened filters to see how they were made.

Millions of people tore apart Fram filters? Who are these people and what

makes them experts on filters?



some were made better then others, like anything else.

I work on boats, I take apart certain boats, both expensive

and cheap, and we shake our heads and cannot believe the

way they were made, does that mean they will not last?

Does it mean they will sink? Are they dangerous?



Are some cars not made better then others?

Are all tires the same?

 

that link is on the first page, it was a guy who tore them apart

and measured the surface area and how they were made.



There was no scientific test.



I am not disputing that Fram isnt the best out there, im just saying

your engine wont blow up from using it.

 

I use Purolator because I always have and read the articles that they were built better than Fram. Fram and Purolator are available at almost every auto parts store around here. I started using OEM after talking to people on this board that I trust with their knowledge of the cars and recommended it. That's my reasoning.



Rob, why do you use the filters you do?
