NOS USA made Fram Extra guard

[505kind]

I have a huge collection of various NOS filters from my late father. I haven’t used a Fram extra guard since 2001.

How can you not love a USA made filter with the perfect shade of orange & grip tape??

They were made by Honeywell back then & I’m 99% sure Allied signal before that.

 

[fantastic]

Any good pic of the 96% & 94% details on the side of box?

Oooh… PH16s-some of the widest pleat spacing I’ve ever seen on a filter! Let’s cut one open & see!

Could be the 291st day of 2006 or 2016. I'd say 2006 based on the box design, and what's printed on the box.

How to read date codes ... sticky thread at top of forum that everyone overlooks.

Thread 'Oil Filter date decoding thread'

Feb 19, 2022

All -

The following is the current means of deciphering some of the major oil filter date codes.
As we gain more info, the thread will be updated, and as we become aware of changes, we'll make those updates as well.

Note: the date code is what we are specifically addressing. Manufacturer internal info such as what faciliy location, assy line, shift could all be possible reasons for the other numbers; this is a common practice in manufacuring.

Many thanks go directly to ZeeOSix; he contributed to the basis for this thread.

Then the filter's date code of C62911 stamped on the can is the 291st day of 2006.
