Hi, I work at FRAM as the tech director. WIX anything simply does not even come close to the filtering efficiency of even the least expensive FRAM filter. The best WIX can do is mid 80% efficiency @20 microns. The WIX XP is far worse at near 50% (this info from BITOG members who have contacted...

It wouldnt matter a bit.

wow, we have been blamed for alot of issues but this is a first for putting sodium in the oil! Contact whomever tested your oil, they will have some suggestions about where it came from. And, we only put Franks Red Hot in our filters, no sodium!

Mr. Sayjac, First of all, I perform training for FRAM, Prestone and Autolite. I am in no way involved in sales. My job is education and nothing more. Peak Global Lifetime is a 22 year old product? I highly doubt it. I also ask you to prove that claim with independent citings/links posted to...

Magnum, We could slightly tweak the formulas and dye the coolant a million different colors and guess what? We would not be able to get auto retailers to stock the 10 different part numbers. Only NAPA tries to do this and you will find a ton of part numbers there. (26). But, many of the claims...

moron? Prestone has over 100 patents on coolants. Show me ONE engine "blown up by Prestone" please. I have used Prestone extended life coolant in my shop for ten years, on every make of car, domestic, japanese and euro. Also have been suing it in motorycles, ATV's and snowmobiles and have never...

I cant as you say "spill the beans" and not that it would matter, I am a mechanic, not a chemist. They additive package in the new product is so good that we saw virtually no wear in cooling system components all the way out to 250k+ miles in fleet testing. We also use a Water pump dyno that...

There is no OEM making coolant. OE coolants in the USA are made by Valvoline, Prestone and Shell. Supplying three of the largest car makers in the USA, we are very familiar with whats in the radiator and have conducted millions of miles of fleet test on 24 brands of vehicles to prove out our...

That is what is called a OES part. (original equipment service) It is not the same as what they are delivered with from the factory.

Prime is a private label Prestone brand. It is made in IAT (conventional green silicate) and OAT (organic acid versions). Good stuff but not as good a corrosion inhibitor package as the yellow bottle.

Hi, I work at Prestone as the Training director. This product is a direct result of millions of miles of fleet testing to create the best possible coolant for all modern cars and motorcycles. It has shown virtually no wear in dozens of 120k fleet tests. The Core Guard inhibitors have 17 patents...

Originally Posted By: HangFire I don't care what one Fram employee who does not make filters says, the actual Ultra advertising says >20 microns not 20 microns, so I'm not "sold" on Ultra's as being so superior. It's a bogus non-ISO advertising spec, and a very hopeful interpretation that >20...

Originally Posted By: AKA Jay, any update yet? At this point things are not looking good. The filter is patented and cannot be duplicated as designed. In many cases like this we buy the OE filter and put it in our box. Then we have to do one of two things to offer an Ultra model- 1. design...

Pretty simple when you look at the correctly built filters for that application. The VW design requires a special plastic "catch ring" built into the top of the filter and the filter mounting spud is actually part of the filter. To build it correctly to VW specs, all these parts must be...
