Fram Pro silicone or nitrile ADBV?

Appears to be nitrile, from what (limited) info I could find.
Bummer. I was kind of hoping they were the Tough Guard filters in disguise. They have the 99% filtration like a TG.
In their original PR, Fram listed three filters one being the FRAM Pro Plus. It is listed as 10,000 miles..similar to the TG. eBay has some listed but does not show the ADBV
Hey OP,
is there a disadvantage for using nitrile vs silicone for short term use?
I purchased the same filter and plan on using the filters for 3K-5K

I've ran many a nitrile ADBV on ~8k OCI's using a vehicle's OLM (mostly non e-core AC Delco filters) and never had a problem with any startup rattles. With the filtration efficiency it looks like a great choice for standard length oil change intervals.

The nitrile would be fine for those short 3-5K OCIs.

Probably not. Of course I would prefer silicone. Just curious what type is in this filter.

Thanks guys!
The white can appears to be the same specs as the Extra Guard orange can. OP, I bought a case of the FPS7317 filters from the same eBay seller.

The FP7317 claims 99% filtration while the extra guard claims 95%. Not sure if there the same. Thanks though.

Except the efficiency is rated at 99% @ 20 microns which is better than the OCOD's 95% @ 20 microns. So it seems more like a Tough Guard but with a nitrile ADBV.
