Much ado about nothing. It didnt leak and that is all that matters.

Good morning BITOG'ers While I have no plans to publish the capacity of every single FRAM filter part number or style, here is the deal. 1. Oil flow does not drop until the filter is nearly completely full. If your leaving it on that long, you are either using the wrong filter or too much time...

Originally Posted By: bvance554 I routinely use $2 Pronto's for 10k and they look great. I wouldn't sweat it. 2$ Pronto filters hold 2-5 grams of dirt, so your filter is in bypass for over half the OCI. But hey, as long as they "look great" I suppose that is all that matters. Happy New Year

Originally Posted By: Familyman Is this really good for a 15k oci (the claim on the box)?? Has any one here ran one of these for that long? What about this filter makes it capable of such a long drain ? Thanks for any insight you have. It would be sweet to only change my filter every third oci...

Originally Posted By: UncleDave I believe the Fram rep mentioned in a thread here not to run them past 15K as is indicated on the box. I know many guys do and few if any seem to have any problems. It seemed the media integrity was more of the question than dirt holding. Amsoil claims their...

Not sure what you are talking about?

would love to see that

These full synthetic filters have the capacity to go those kinds of miles but the variables scare oil manufacturers and filter manufacturers. You have to use oil that can go that distance and since nearly all engines will use some oil, it is very important to check and add oil when needed. We...

The inward curved baseplate also saves them media. WRONG- The W style plate we use is self centering and the easiest by far to install, that is the sole reason it is used I agree it is solely to cut costs. They sell the EG for under $4 at stores what kind of profit margin is there? WRONG again...

Hi, I am the tech director at FRAM. The reason we are able to use less pleats and generally outperform most of our competitors is the type of filter media we use. It is a blend of cellulose and synthetic glass microfibers and is typically much thicker in cross section than many other companies...

FRAM is releasing a all new line of heavy duty and street high performance oil filters at the PRI show this year. The filters will be available for all late model Ford V8's and V6/4 cylinder applications. They are also available for imprts, Late model Hemi's and General Motors LS series engines...

White can PRO filters are Ecore version 94%@20 microns and the FRAM version is 95.7%@20. Both have nitrile rubber adbv. And yes, humidity is the enemy when storing filters. Saran wrap over the business end helps. Ultra and other full synthetic media filters are more resistant to long term...

adbv's are tested daily to ISO and SAE specifications. There is a test stand that measures leakage over time and we always exceed both specifications.

Ooops, one more thing, We consider 7 yrs of DRY storage to be the limit for keeping and using oil filters. DRY being the key word.

Let me clear this up. The FRAM Pro line has been consolidated to two filters. The white can is currently an Ecore but is quickly being transitioned to a FRAM EG internally. The Gold can is a Ultra. Previously, the white can was ecore, the orange can was a TG and gold was (and still is) Ultra...

You guys are sooooo funny. The Ecore is a high efficiency and very low cost oil filter. It meets GM's requirements for flow and filtration and if it didn't, they would incure bazillions of dollars in warranty costs. That said, ANY domestic OES (and that is what AC Delco, Motorcraft and Mopar...

Guys, The small slots next to the seam are used to draw the tube into a cylindrical shape during manufacturing. As far as the amount of holes, we use a corrugated sheet stock with a row of holes in every other corrugation for three rows and then skip the next two. There are more than enough...

Thanks for posting!
