Fram CH11665 FAIL

[MuzzleFlash40]

Not starting a war nor do I want a bashing thread.

2021 Jeep GC 3.6 81k on unit.

This was from a Valvoline Restore and Protect 5k OCI. The oil change started out with a Fram Ultra that was changed halfway through to this Fram orange box. It was changed just in case there was a lot of cleaning done from the R&P. So there is only about 2,500 miles on this filter.

I’ll post more pictures tomorrow after I buy a new utility knife to cut it open. ( my son doesn’t know where he lost it). I’m hoping the media is all there and there isn’t a piece of it stuck inside the engine somewhere.

oof
@Sayjac just posted a good filter for that engine here recently but having trouble finding the link to the pics?

These seem to crumple up being so tall but once in a while we see a smooth straight one. Was that tear anywhere near the seam?

Not surprising at all.....

I’ve been using PG made filters for a while now because they do great. I used Fram this time because I found the Fram Ultra hidden in my stash and this orange box was cheap knowing it would only be used for a very short time. Makes me sick to my stomach. I’ll never use another.

It looks like the tear started right at the seam.

I hope none of the pieces wound up in the engine.

Completely understand that & thanks for the further details. I've said it many years & have been bashed to no end when I state that I'll take a reinforced wire backed Purolator Boss at its efficiency then have this nonsense happen any day of the week. So you put a PG back in?

Thanks for repeating the Boss dribble for the 7000th time.
You'll never see me with one

this is the reason why you’ll never see me put a PH or TG on anything.

Yep, a PG made EcoGard Synthetic.

Brother I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll take all the bashing people want to give me.

Members here tried to slap me about the TG....even the evidence isn't enough for them...they keep switching it up no matter what pictures you throw at them.

In all seriousness the Fram deal is overblown...as long as you don't pour oil into them they are good.....

Supertech seems more stout than the current Fram line up. Been using ST in my equipment and daughters Rogue. Done with Fram.

What color is the Rogue....let me guess

ST is made by fram. ST white is basically an orange can.

Maybe I switch to Premium Guard filters.

I really like the cartridge Taiwanese Baldwin for my VW....after 10k miles it looks just like it came out of the box and cheap at just a bit over $4 on Rock Auto...

 

[walterjay]

Have been using Premium Guard cartridge filters in my Tucson. They look like new after two oil changes. Made in Vietnam.

So what you're saying is your filters are better than mine eh???

 

[dnewton3]

Absolutely that needs to be communicated to Fram and sent back for analysis.
The only way any company will "do better" is to feel the pain and see the evidence.

I figured I would get an answer like that.

You have done a good job finding a good and cheap filter for $4 No wonder you are so rich
