Microglass is a industry word, like tissue. All synthetic microglass media is not the same and depending on the size, shape, diameter and geometry of the glass fibers have vastly differing performance. Some synthetic glass filters are super high efficiency, others have really poor efficiency...

Let me answer your questions he media in a oil filter just made in bulk by a supplier per their specs., FRAM works with a high end media supplier to develop patented media blends. Media development is an exact science both in fibers used and geometry of those fibers. at the lowest bidding...

Grenaded? We make 20 million of these filters a year, if the grenaded engines, we would be out of business.

Good Morning BITOG'ers. Let me start by saying that chart is ancient and does not reflect what AC Delco sells today, nor are the Ultra filters referenced FRAM, AC used to have a filter with that name. That said, you all know that having good (above 85% efficiency@20 microns) is very important to...

Watch the spark plug metalurgy video by autolite on youtube for the real deal

Amazing how quick you are to suspect the filter without doing any diagnostic work at all. Any tech would hook up a mechanical gauge before jumping to conclusions and slandering a product. Those engines are well known for sludge due to PCV neglect and oil change neglect. Fixed some by replacing...

The pressure drop on a clean FRAM filter is less than 1.5 psi. Something is wrong and it pays to investigate.

The Tg filter has several differences than the EG filter that make it more suitable for 10K OCI's. It has a silicone ADBV, It has more microglass fibers in the media and has more media in the can. It will easily go 10K on all but the dirtiest engines.

Oh boy, guess once you get knowledgeable from the internet and hate FRAM, you just hate FRAM. That filter is made by FRAM, we make several designs for Valvoline including a Extra Guard clone (seen in the pictures) and ecore on many models. Everything we make for them is either 94 0r 95.7%...

Falken, We will not be going to coil springs anytime soon. Our OE business is now much larger than our aftermarket business. ALL automotive OE's spec a leaf spring becuase it is a better design for reasons I have explained on this forum more than one time.

Was in the brake business for a very long time. Akebono, Aisn, Ferodo, Centric are the best in that order, everything else is 25-30k durabilty price point junk

Thanks for making the attempt at education.

Wow, just blown away by this discussion. FRAM has never failed to stand behind any oil filter product when used as it is supposed to be. Are you guys all lawyers with incredible warranty law experience? Your all splitting hairs. If your engine is healthy, you use the correct oil and a Fram...
