Originally Posted By: NH73 When are air filters consider dirty and in need of replacement? Sure the OM says to replace at certain intervals, but most don't have hour meters and some my ZT with hour meter says 1 year or 200 hours, which every comes first. Well after almost 6 years, I hardly have...

Originally Posted By: Xeno I have a big stash of oil, and currently have 8qts of P Ultra with date codes of 23JUL13? Is it safe to use? Yes, they are safe to use. Our oil filters have a shelf life of 7 plus years if stored in a dry place

I would pitch in 10$ if you do that!

excellent answer and very correct

$$$$$$$$$$$ What else would it be? In the OE supply business it's all about meeting the spec for the lowest possible price, nothing more

Originally Posted By: bbhero What's wrong with the sure grip??? Does this cross with the Fram 7317?? Thank you for your work and pictures Robert. You add a lot of good information to this site. All Honda cars made after 1995 have been superceeded to the 7317 size

From a 28 million dollar engine wear study "Abrasive engine wear can be substantially reduced with an increase in filter SPE(MP). Compared to a 40 micron filter, engine wear was reduced by 50% with 30 micron filtration." (98% point) "Likewise, wear was reduced by 70% with 15 micron filtration."...

Originally Posted By: newtoncd8 Not sure if this has already been discussed, but the Fram site no longer lists the Ultra as capable of 99% @ 20 microns. The Tough Guard (99% @ 20 microns) and Extra Guard (95% @ 20 microns) data are both still listed. Omission on the Fram marketing team or has...

Metal, How can that be if you "don't allow any Orange cans of delight anywhere near your engines" Really? Every time I come on this forum I really enjoy the serious and humorously misguided.

This is an ongoing problem in Walmart and other retail stores with people switching out low cost products for premium products, Happens to FRAM, Bosch, K+N quite a bit. We are working on solutions to the problem but as I have pointed out to my handlers, many buyers want to remove the filter from...

Originally Posted By: CharlieBauer Ever since discovering the microgreen filters are not what they're claimed to be, I've spent a bit of time researching particle count results. Firstly, I went to Dr Dave's Amsoil EA15K51 particle counts. He ran one filter for 22k miles and another filter for...

Originally Posted By: MParr This is a very good discussion. What Hannibal said carries some weight. The mention of the 4548-12 multipass test gets way too much attention.

Originally Posted By: Hannibal I think this question could be better answered by the admins. Here's my story... I know a lot of people in the filter business. I am good friends with a few within the manufacturers. They're on here incognito. However they don't expose themselves for a few...

Mike, Did the engine builder block off the filter bypass in the engine block? If so, do not make mistake of using any oil filter that does not have a bypass built into the filter can. You risk collapsing the filter as it fills with break in material. All Standard GM filters from ANY filter...

Originally Posted By: Hounds Uh, just to be sure we are all thinking the same thoughts: Honda's oil filter part # PLM-A02 (discussed above) is manufactured for Honda by Fram. The other "Honda" filter -- the PLM-A01 -- is manufactured by Filtech. The latter is (dare I say this?) a better filter...

FRAM has been OE on Honda cars for 27 years, guess you know more than Honda engine designers?

While the Honda filter is made by FRAM, it is slightly different than the orange can as I have stated in this forum many times. More pleats, lower efficiency, higher capacity are the major differences.

Hope you don't live in the rust belt!

i love what your saying, stick to the facts. At FRAM we spent $$$$$$$$$ dollars testing for the 20k claim, our lawyers made us do it. So a years worth of engineering research proving it can easily go 20k based on facts and ISO testing. I FEEL like that was the right thing to do.
