Not my video.
Appreciate the post but I can't watch anymore amateurish, >15 min. videos.
However, I realize keeping up with the EVERCHANGING construction details of oil filters takes time and viewing effort.
Hmmm....maybe dissections of all oil filters should be done / updated annually?

No more Grams 4 meFram is very slick.
More orange cans are purchased for dissection than actual use.

So is it a Fram, or a Fake (counterfeit)?
Frams are now showing up as Champ hybrids. First Brands is consolidated manufacturing. The ecore Endurance is very interesting.
More like every month, lol.
That Ecore Fram is a SuperTech MP (was also Champ Labs) in an orange can.
Man o man I know his video's are painful, just a older gentleman trying to get a piece of the action .
Not much of a problem as you can see a frame preview when you hover the pointer over the video bar and can just skip to the good part.

The new one will be a bypass leaker for sure. I saw it on the ph4967. On that one the cost cutting was too much for the new version, even the can was smaller. But the element even smaller yet in the can. As cheap as it gets, except silicone adbv. . $4 is cheap so it fits the price. Whip City has shown the PH and TG adbv are much thinner than the Ultra, so that is cheapened too.

It's real but if I made it I'd say it's counterfeit
Will it ever get back to Fram that they're top-of-the-line filter is a failure ? Bob's buyers are probably .00001 % of their sales .

It did a long time ago.
Bad news travels fast.
Non Bobbers still research purchases and the Ultra search is far from stellar.
Exactly.. I would probably just stick with the EG and TG and forget about searching around for the imports if they did what you mentioned.
That's the way all filter makers pretty much get away with increasing cheapening and shoddy quality. Because not many people in the grand scheme of things even know what the inside of an oil filter looks like, and certainly don't understand oil filter efficiency specs or performance curves.

Sometimes Fram accomodates what the manufacturer wants / requests or mandates. If you ever owned a Kia or Hyundai for the past 5-6 years, you would come to realize that the 9688 Fram EG may be built totally different than the GM or Chrysler equivalent Fram EG oil filter, standing right next to the 9688 on the store shelf
The best advice I can come up with...... try to examine the filter inside the store and if you like it - buy it. Otherwise begin a search on another brand name in the stores and check those out. Sooner or later, you will find a suitable oil filter for your needs and price range.
Some folks don't want all that shopping and research hassle. So they just stick with the OEMs.
