Unfortunatly I wont use a Fram, I have had their HP1 internally fail on me, and likewise two other Fram filters fail on me. I have cut open dozens of used filters, and have found Fram to be consistently poorly made Lubefiner does not list burst strength, instead they give meaningless marketing...

Thanks for info, per the second link you gave, second from last paragraph.... "One of the most common mistakes is a cheap tin oil filter. The oil pressure from the pump is high. It is not uncommon to blow up a cheap filter." This is my concern, and is why a high strength can for the filter is...

There is no pressure relief until past the filter. that is why it is called a full flow system, it all goes thru the filter. There is an oil bypass after the filter, that bypass is to direct high pressure to the bearings bypassing the cooler, and when pressure is lower thru the cooler prior to...

Filter sees pump pressure, no relief in the system between the pump and filter. pump is highflow, blueprinted.

I see a Motorcraft FL1A filter goes for around $10, and a Ford "racing" FL1A filter goes for near twice that price. Is there a difference other than the marking on the filter? Motorcraft used to sell a racing filter called FL-1HP, with the "racing " name, but it is no longer made. Now I see...

Hello I have a Porsche 914 with a built up 4 cylinder, with a remote full flow filter, the bypass in the engine case blocked. I have been using a Motorcraft FL-1HP filter, it has a 600 psi burst strength, which my engine builder says I should have because of the full flow conversion. Well now I...

What is the NTZ filter referenced in the pdf file?

How good or bad is O Reilly 10w 30 regular motor oil as sold in the 5 qt black bottles? ok for a jeep 4 liter inline motor in a 1990 XJ?

The 1966 is a stock 1300 cc motor, US spec. stoc cooling system, narrow fan. my other bug is a 1600 Dual Port with wide fan, offset oil cooler. The bottle of Delvac 1300 says..... Meets or exceeds the requirements of CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, SM,SL. So bottle says it meets SM standard...

I see that Delvac diesel oil is on sale at my local store and I read on the Mobil oil website (Mobil makes Delvac 1300)that the Phosphorous level in Delvac 1300 is 0.12 % (verses 0.08% for new regular oils) From Mobile's website.... "ZDDP Levels of Mobil Delvac What are the current ZDDP...

I like to run at 60% antifreeze. I got a vanagon, and they are known to have head gasket rust issues. I rather have the extra corrosiion protection. I drain and flush every two years. remember the corrosion protection additives get used up, and in low concnetrations they become less effective...

Hello: I got a V6 231 Buick motor that I just uprated the filter mount to accept 13/16 inch spin on filters (vs. the stock M18 mount, which offers little choice in filter types) At anyrate I cross referanced a Car Quest 85049 filter as a nice upgrade, it is supposed to have an anti drain back...

Looks like Iran is building manned targets for the USA. How nice of them!

Ok, I just placed an order for the RJC Racing Buick filter adaptor. This part screws onto the existing M18 x 1.5 filter nipple, and converts it to the 13/16 -16 thread size. this will allow a whole bunch more filter sizes to be selected. thanks! http://rjcracing.com/product/oil-filter-adapter/
