2 used fram air filters----not bad

[Scienceman]

here is one from a 2002 Cadilliac DeVille with a 4.6 northstar DOHC


Held together well, got a lirt of dirt.

Here is the filter out of my 1993 Ford F-150
same as the other-done a good job IMHO

Both of them...

I've always wondered how Fram could sell so many filters given how bad evryone says they are.

Is that the 6366 you use on your F-150? I just put one in a 1995 F-150 and it had great fitment.

maby the filters with cardboard endcaps.........

I bought two other frams to replace these!

 

[Scienceman]

yes Thirde Ye, a 6366 toughguard.

looked really nice...

I've (gasp) purchased Fram air filters (and AIR only) for multiple cars now. This place says the orange air filters are fine. So, I'm running them in my friends cars and my 2001 Civic currently. I've used Wix, Honda, Purolator and Fram now and they're all identical.
The orange cans, no chance ever.

the pictures were taken at night. They had way more dirt than you think.

Nothing wrong with FRAM air filters.

 

[Scienceman]

I couldn't agree more. And really, their oil filters (except for the one's with cardboard endcaps, which, really do ok for 1k or 2k oci's) are good to. the only thing is why pay more for a FRAM when you could get a better supertech or even motorcraft filter cheaper?

+1 I've never had an issue with the construction their air filters. Reasonably priced and easily obtained.

Now some of the air box designs like the newer model Altima, sometimes make installation a tad tricky ie., getting the outer foam pushed down to snap the box closed. I don't blame Fram for that though, and I've always gotten them installed.

But, like any filter, I take the filter out of the box and check it before I buy.

Thanks for the pics.

Ditto. FRAM Air filters have always done me well. I personally stay away from their oil filters whenever possible though.

Those filters are brand new!

I use fram air filters. Good value. I change mine every 18000 miles.
