Fram 10K mile filter w/ PP

[mikeg5]

any of you guys have some info on this?? i am running Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 5qts and 1qt Pennzoil Platinum 10w30. this is my first run with Pennzoil Platinum i ran out of 2 years worth of Valvoline SynPower.. now back to the filter. i had a gift certy for walmart and all they carry is fram no supertech at this store for some reason. anyway i figured i would run 7500 miles on the run of Pennzoil Platinum but i am curious on how the fram 10k filter is. i do not buy fram anything but thats all they had i picked what i thought would be the best they had for fram.. any opinions or info?? thanks

The Extended Guard is decent judging from cut open ones.

Just dont get the one loaded with "teflon". +1 on the e-guard. Acura, Honda and subaru use fram (honeywell) as their oem service parts in NA.

i dont know if its the teflon or not.. i just remember it saying EG 10k miles. had metal screen and extra media.. i was in a hurry when i bought it.

That's not the Teflon one. It's a great filter and one of the beefiest I've ever seen.

ok good no negative feed back yet.. i was waiting for the worst

... good deal..

yeah when i checked it out i looked at the pics and i opened the one that was already opened (they come sealed) and it felt pretty beefy and it looked pretty dang sturdy.. for 7 bucks its hard to beat.. it will last the 7000 miles ill use it for

I am running it right now on my wife's RX330 (normally use Mobil 1 or K&N), not sure it will answer any questions, but I plan to get a used oil analysis at the 10,000 mile mark.

Thats the one!

Extra Guard + Tough Guard = Cardboard endcapped, squishable cheap, worst filters on the market.

Extended Guard= A decent filter, but I would get a Pureone first.

that is my normal product but they had the road blocked that went to advance auto.. so i had to stick with fram.. glad i picked the better one

 

[BrianWC]

I dunno. The Extended Guard seems every bit as beefy as the Pureone and has thicker media to boot. Pureone's cheaper, though.

Whatever,... if you get noise on startup you had better swap it out... (my old FRAM thread):

XG Should be alright. I don't like to run any filter that long. Maybe an Amsoil EaO. My 2 cents.

BITOG ruined me. I used and was happy with Fram filters for 40+ years. Sold cars with 127,000 to 195,000 miles without any oil related issues, and now you tell me they are junk?
