New filters - Fram vs Mopar.

Pics of new Fram XG11665 vs Mopar MO-349

The Male Pin on the Fram filter spins. Doing oil change tomorrow - using Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w20.

I've used both, and prefer the Fram Ultra. Having said that I had no issues with the Mopar filter.

Def the Ultra. Still looking for Korea on a map. I see N & S, but......I digress, (lol) the Fram appears to be well constructed.

I've got four XG's on the shelf for the Durango after I finish off my last Wix on the shelf. They look to be well constructed. I may run two changes through them depending on what mileage I change at.

Just wondering, where were the WIX filters you had made? Recently bought and promptly returned 3 WIX filter to Amazon for my Pentastar that were made in China with no WIX part numbers on the filter nor did the center cage spin.

The center cage on the Mopar filter does not spin, but it spins on the XG.

Any idea why?

The new Wix / Mann+Hummel filters say made in China and the Fram XG say made in Korea on them. Quality did not seem any different from the older Wix I had ran when I would buy a case through Fleet Filter in the past.

 

[pokey]

are either or both of these synthetic fiber?
