What about the countless people who claim to use FRAM exclusively and raked up serious trouble free miles?
How did you measure those flow rates?quote:
Now it's running purolator filters and running a bit better due to enhanced oil flow. I think something like 5oz per min with fram and now 12oz with the current purolator
I think it's also like the smoking and cancer thing.....quote:

Fram, Filtech and Toyo-Riki sourced filters are all sold as OEM Honda filters now.quote:

Ray H,
I just did some research buddy. Fram doesn't make OEM filters for Honda. They are made by a company called Toyo Riki Manufacturing.
Just to set the record straight.
I've never seen you pose that question, and I am not going to pass up the opportunity to answer.quote:
From Ray
I'll repeat a question that I've posed repeatedly (and one which no one seems interested in addressing): if cardboard endcaps are assumed to be so unreliable, what's that say for the filtration media which is even physically weaker?

Your question was regarding the suitability of cardboard for endcaps. These photos showed endcaps that contributed to the buckling of the media. The buckling of the media contributed to bits of media blowing throught center tube (possibly flowing through the oil galleys). Therefore, Frams cardboard endcaps are not suitable for use in an oil filter.quote:
Show me where the endcaps failed to hold a seal with the filtration media. Your point about buckling is an entirely different issue, but even that never resulted in unfiltered oil passing through the pleating, did it?
