Would I like to see a “no leak” filter?? ….goes without saying. Again, I’m only concerned about actual “real world” performance of this filter and so far the evidence THAT WE DO HAVE, indicates this filter has no equal as far as actual “real world” particle filtration. All counter arguments...

Aside from whether or not it’s really “15%”…. that test doesn’t account for that fact that any “leaked” oil is recirculated back through the filter continuously…correct? A “live” pumping in tact filter test like BR, accounts for that.

(Recently Edited) I’m dead serious …if I could see an ACTUAL TEST of an Endurance filter demonstrating “inferior” performance or component failure , I’m out…no questions asked! Again, I’ve been using the Endurance for a year now and two 6K OCs (new filters) with no measurable oil consumption at...

I don’t see a 15% leak in this instance, your calculations notwithstanding. In addition , does this study take into account the fact any “leaked oil” is continuously recirculating back through the filter?

“Data and Facts” Yes , We can lay claim to those… Caveat ….. They’re subject to interpretation…bummer 😊 Interpret this: *FRAM Group testing of average filter efficiency of FE8A, FE3387A and FE4967 or equivalent FRAM TG or EG models under ISO 4548-12 for particles greater than 20 microns”...

As I previously stated This discussion and forum only reflects a microcosm of opinions in this vast world we live in. Here’s a sample of “other opinions” on the subject. No he didn’t use a flashlight..🙄

Lol Seen it ages ago . It’s a classic! Congrats!

Bought car a year ago 2019 Sonata with 22K mi. Don’t know when it was last changed. Just checked after 12K mi and it was dirty with leaves. I basically view it as a “screen”, so I go cheap. Also, the higher filtering capacity (MRV rating), the more restrictive it is🤷. Installed STP from Autozone

Interesting interpretation there🤔 If I may, I’ll take it a little further ….. Firstly, depends on magnitude of the “leak”…I know you’ve attempted to quantify it in a “model”…Albeit still “theoretical “ in nature. I still don’t find it convincing, but still commendable 👍. Second, in spite of any...

1) there’s no evidence that the fiber end caps “seal” sufficiently to overcome the faulty spring plate 2) No evidence e-core tube flows better or is superior to louver tube.

One thing for sure….BR tests were the “Whole Enchilada “ 😉

As far as I can tell, the BR tests are the only “sophisticated “ attempts in independent bench filter tests performed to date on the Endurance and its “ clone” the Amsoil. In BOTH separate instances they performed at the TOP in comparing particle filtration in the 20-30 micron range against a...

Ok… so that’s a possibility…but we don’t know that for a fact. Keep in mind those weren’t FULL synthetic like the FE. Are you also assuming the SPECIFIC ENDURANCE FE MODLES sited were not actually tested? Why identify SPECIFIC models, unless they tested them? That seems to be the opinion of...

From Fram website: Endurance FE “Designed for use with synthetic oils. Metal Screen Back construction for enhanced durability. Fully synthetic blend media provides 99%+ filtration efficiency.* “ Foot note *>>> “FRAM Group testing of average filter efficiency of FE8A, FE3387A and FE4967 or...

I use Rock Auto regularly 😊 My take You’ll see them on Amazon ..,Auto Zone …Advanced Auto Parts by year end

Pretty obvious Fram will find other “venues” to sell its existing inventory. That would simply entail ending the exclusive arrangement with WM. If Fram feels Endurance has “issues” it will create an updated product. Stay tuned. I’m still a fan until convinced otherwise.

I’m now intrigued how this will play out. Fram isn’t going to stand by and let Walmart dictate what’s next as far as their own product line. Let “The Market” decide…it’s the “final arbiter”. If Fram can’t sell enough Endurance…so be it … they’ll have to come up with a replacement.

From a year ago Amsoil …KN …Mobil 1..Mann Amsoil (Endurance Clone) and Endurance still on top

Should be interesting to see the fate of Endurance. So far no problems here in Las Vegas 👍
