Fram Motor Oil!?!?

[miraCRD]

I am not kidding. I was in a National Auto Parts (a local chain) today and could not believe my eyes. There, on an end cap, in bright orange bottles was....Fram...Motor OIL!

Anyone else know anything about this strange development? Sorry, I didn't/couldn't snap a pic.

I googled it and didn't find much other than a recent (Dec 09) API license listing for, of all companies, ConocoPhillips, which probably means its decent stuff.

I just don't understand why they think the "Fram" name has more marketable clout than their own existing brands? But what do I know...

I would not use it. It probably has cardboard in it!

I'll use my post-drain weed eater oil before I pour that in my vehicle.

Sorry...tried the search but didn't come up with that thread. Just searched "Fram motor oil", not "Fram Synthetic".

Glad there's a pic though!

dakota99 has the link for the thread which should have info on the Fram oil.

If you have any other questions after reading that thread, ask over there. I'd like to keep things in the same place as much as possible for everyone.

Thanks, bill
