I wouldn't use a Fram if you gave it to me for free. There's multiple youtube videos showing that these are [censored] filters.

I guess you have never seen the inside of an Xtended Guard.

I've seen it and used it before and would use it again for the right price. Right now I have 9 P1's and 2 RP's to go through.

Actually yes! Even though the filter would stay full without the ADBV, the oil passages directly above it would drain their oil down into the pan. I believe there used to be a thread on here with a diagram showing the details of that, hopefully someone here has that bookmarked!

It held up OK, but I would be concerned that it would lose its "Toughness" soon... I have seen too many collapsed for comfort. I'll stick to Hastings.
