    Would you run a fram ultra for two changes?

    I run a fram ultra for 2, 7k OCI's on my Nissan frontier with no issues. The reason being I hate the mess that is made while changing the filter. I don't worry about the small amount of dirty oil that gets left in the filter. I'd like to see proof of an engine blown or ruined by running a filter...

    Case of Fram Extra Guard filters--should I do it?

    I'd use the ultra and run it for two OCI's.

    Any BBQ/Grilling experts? :)

    I use a Weber kettle and shut all the vents to stop the fire. Whatever coals I have left I just knock the ash off and use next time. However if you're only grilling every 4 months I'd just let them burn out and use new. Mold tends to form more on the grease coated areas. I leave all the vents om...

    simple comparison from OEM Nissan To Fram TG7317

    Thanks for the photos. I'm currently using the XG7317 on my Frontier. That OEM unit is a good looking filter.

    Fram Tough Guard vs, Ultra Guard.

    The Fram pro is identical to the tough guard except it doesn't have the silicone ADBV. I was under the impression it did until i noticed photos showing a black colored ADBV. A call to Fram confirmed my suspicions.

    high cost to mount and balance tire

    Discount Tire near me changes $16 a tire. Plus you get lifetime balance, rotation and flat repair.

    Should I make the Change?

    5k OCI I'd say go with the Fram Ultra. You could leave it on for 3 changes if desired. I'm switching to the Ultra on my next change. Frontier is a great truck I love mine. Whats with the 0w-40? Are you still in warranty?

    Pickup truck tires

    Check out the Falken AT3W I have them on my truck and they are great. They come with the snowflake rating. However the rebates with the Cooper's are pretty sweet.
