The "20 GPM" flow is nebulous. What's it really mean ... nobody really knows.

What's important is what is the delta-p vs flow rate, as a function of oil viscosity/temperature.
 
For USA made going to try Baldwin products. Seem to be a professional company. Pretty sure my 2007 Toyota will last as long as I want to keep it using those or OE.

And, I now feel dumber for having read this thread. But i got paid for it!

Wow, did you just admit that you participate on bitog because you get paid to?. Good to know just in case anybody was naive enough to not have drawn that conclusion already. That being the fact (you sing fram praises because you get paid too) it negates everything you have ever said. At least as far as anybody with an ounce of intelligence or self respect goes.
Also, I don't think it's very professional to throw remarks at people such as the op like " you need a girlfriend". You don't know him personally and you are/will account for every word that comes out of your mouth one day. So go grow up please because its disturbing to witness juvenile behavior from someone that appears to be viewed as somewhat prominent in certain circles

If you actually had an opportunity to deal with Jay via PM you'd feel differently. He's a stand up guy and an excellent company representative. He's got a good sense of humor too, it showed in his reply. He's doing his job and admits to getting paid for it, at least he's being honest about it.
 
Crazy oil dude accusations about the Frame filter are outrageous. There are bigger things to worfy about than holes in a filter that will not affect the performance of said filter.
 
I'm also siding with Jay / Motorking and FRAM on this one.

OP was off-base in accusations, providing photos that did not prove his claims, yet he and others made up stories of QC issues.

FRAM ultras are great filters and I continue to use them, and for more than one OCI.

With the "crazy" accusations, I'm fine with Jay's remarks and a quip about 'needing a girlfriend'. Its the same as saying 'get a life' and stop obsessing over something that is not even an issue.

Put it better than I did. At least someone got paid to read this. I certainly didnt.

Exactly ... There is nothing to worry about concerning the topic Ultra filter in this thread.

Yes, that was my thought. It's hard to take any of his posts seriously.
 
Is that all i get car51 that in your opinion im nuts...This coming from someone who uses a cardboard fram?
My name on here might say crazy but like i said im not stupid or blind. But i say to each his own Keep cutting them open.. Anyone can argue about anything but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck its usually a duck.

What does that even mean? Can there really be such a thing as an oil filter snob?

Maybe crazyoildude can elaborate on why cardboard endcaps are inferior?

Unless it is not a duck, which in this case it certainly is not. Like I said before what will be next? The tone of the paint is off?
 
Knocking on Motorking for getting paid by Fram? Invalidation of his postings because he does?

Every company rep that has ever existed is in the exact same place as he is.

How else is this supposed to work? Is he supposed to resign from his position, swear a Jihad on Fram, and then represent them?

The only way to get info straight from the source is through an employee of the source. Employment usually means pay.

What's wrong with people?

Yeah, I am curious about this one too. Is it some imagined inferiority like louvers vs holes?

+1

The oil filter sub forum sure seems to attract strange views.

I posted up some problems with a Bosch filter, got told I caused the manufacturing defect and when I challenged that absurd assertion was told I was being put on ignore.

I thought I was contributing useful information. It sure didn't make me feel like contributing in future. Of course, that wouldn't be much of a loss, but going after a helpful representative from an oil filter manufacturer with crazy accusations seems the height of irresponsibility for people on a forum set up to share information.
