Honeywell Defense oil filter - clean threads!

Honeywell = fram, which = no thanks

Before I put one of these on my car yesterday, I ran my finger along the threads. It came back totally clean. There were no metal shavings, and not a trace of black residue from thread forming.

Someone is doing a very good job here.

if the threads are rolled and not cut when they make the baseplate then there will be no chips. I don't know what process honeywell/fram uses but it would make sense for them to roll the threads if they don't want to wash the base plates after they are made.

I never find metal shavings in my filters.

I just tried the same thing on a UnionSangyo nippon I have laying around. No residues or shavings. And totally clean thanks to the plastic thingy the filter has over the end.

I washed stuff that looked like iron filings from a Supertech (Wal Mart) filter, probably from the thread area, and have always found Purolators to leave a black reside when I touch the threads.

Some companies seem to do a good job cleaning this part of their filters.

That goes for me also. Maybe they are better up in North. Don't really know.

Supertech filters roll the threads so they are not cut with a tap or cutter.
