Doesn't the Ultra have the exact same can (only different color) as the EG and TG?
I'll sell the Subaru, the Honda and set my house on fire then shoot myself in the arse. Then go eat at McDonald'sWhat if the OEM is made by Fram like Honda and Subaru?
Then I'd suspect that the OEM company would cover it if they have a warranty on their filters causing damage, which they probably do.What if the OEM is made by Fram like Honda and Subaru?
I agree. Starts with using someone else's video. I think the filter was not tight enough when installed and loosened slightly over time. Hard to imagine a defect in the filter taking 8000 miles to show up.Did the old gasket come off with the old filter? I think something is suspicious about the whole ordeal.
How long did it take for the leak to show up? Right after install, after some miles put on it?Contact FRAM. I recently had an ever so light weep on a FRAM Ultra and they had me send it to them for testing, then sent me back the testing results, all of which I posted on here. They also sent me two free replacements for my trouble. They have excellent support.

I always do like my dad who showed me how to change oil when I was a teenager, after a fresh oil change start car and I lay on the ground for several minutes watching to make sure nothing is leaking underneath for several minutes. But honestly after that I don’t think about it again until it’s time for another oil change.
guess I should start take a peek every so often at it just to make sure all is well
Found it thanksIt was an ever so slight weep, took several days for me to smell it, never dripped on the ground. There's a thread on it here.
All branding agreements are different but normally when a manufacturer makes a "branded" part for another OEM- part of that agreement is to hold the component OEM "harmless" because they almost always make the components to a specific speciation or standard for the "branding".What if the OEM is made by Fram like Honda and Subaru?
My Nephew had a Fram blow, lost all his oil. Completely trashed engine. Nephew contacted Fram who told him to send the blown filter ton them. Like an idiot, my dumb a$$ nephew did. Fram denied there was anything wrong with filter, and kept the filter.
Opinions varyWhat a garbage thread.
Got a Fram on now which I put on last March and doesn't leak a drop.I've had several frams leak on me. Wasn't real bad though.
I have three in service at the moment, one of them for a year as we enter December. Odds are that one will be in service for at the very least 2 years. No leaks from any of them.Got a Fram on now which I put on last March and doesn't leak a drop.
