New Fram Force 9688 C&P

[WarEagle]

Bought 9 of these for ~$2/each from AAP for my daughter’s Santa Fe. Finally got a cutter so cut one open. She currently has one on now. Looks ok to me but I’m no expert. Based on the look of the other Force I cut open, https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/new-fram-force-12447-c-p.408800/

I’m hesitant to run these. Although, these are definitely different designs. Thoughts appreciated.

biggest concern would be the glued seam. otherwise good 5K jobber.

Thanks for the feedback. Daughter is out of state until August. Will probably go ahead and change to a CQP when she gets back and just donate the rest of these

The glue job looks cleaner than the other FF you just cut open, at least. Thanks for posting! I wish I could find some at these prices, but all the AAP near me are out.

Really nothing wrong with that filter for 5k oci !

I would have ran it.

Made on the 158th day of 2024, why it has holes in the center tube and not louvers. Silicone ADBV is a plus. Lots of filters use a glued seam. Fram uses a robust glue, unlike Mann+Hummel.
