    Summary of non-destructive Fram filter testing (and a Carquest Premium added)

    I will continue to use the Endurance with no reservations. I expect a typical response from the “Hysterical” crowd.🤭

    Life of the universe time lapse.

    Apparently there are “other beings” who have already reached or surpassed that point. 😉

    Fram Endurance Flashlight Test in canister

    I maintain they(Endurance ) all leak. I see the date of manufacture is 2023. That’s when Endurance came on the scene. My Hyundai filter is in the same range of manufacture.

    OG Fram Ultra XG8A C&P

    Could you take a flashlight into the tube and see if there’s a tiny stream of light below the spring plate at the bypass? This will detect any small “leak”. Thanks

    OG Fram Ultra XG8A C&P

    Time to get out the flashlight lol. In this case it would interesting if there’s no seal there. However, it’s pre 2023, so it’s not newer generation.

    Fram Endurance FE7317 C&P 28,000 mi oci

    Yes to the above. I didn’t make any claims as to how they will all perform, its their relative superiority even with the flaw. Btw, the Ultra(newer versions post 2023) would also fall in that category, given its similarity in design.

    Fram Endurance FE7317 C&P 28,000 mi oci

    There are gaps in ALL FE and similar filters. To date there have been ZERO non leakers passing this test. Go ahead and “assume” that those particle tests (Endurance..Amsoil ..and RP) by BR escaped this flaw. It’s called DENIAL. I anticipate the response will now be be…they were “minimal...

    Recommended value for money all season tires for 225/65/R17

    I’ve used Firestone Sure Drive all season Grand Touring several times. Great value and performed well. Distributed by Bridgestone and made by Khumo in Viet Nam. I currently have 215/55/17 on my Hyundai Sonata Limited. They are VR rated in that size.

    Brand Ranks particle count and efficiency "normalized" to ISO 4548-12

    Metal to metal sealing is a challenge and we can see from these Endurance pics on failed bypass, that the area in contact is very sparse. These are close ups of area with leaks….on the sides where spring plate is at its narrowest. In my mind the only way to seal is with pliable gasket.
