Old Fram PH5

[Revving2Redline]

I was cleaning out my parents' garage and I came across this old Fram orange can so I thought I would share. I don't know how old it is but it's definitely one that I would not have bought for one of my cars, too big for my Hondas.

Looks like it stored well. It's either a 2004 or 2014 vintage.

Used on Chevy V8`s small and big blocks. And probably others. Have used many.

Yep ... hard to believe there's no sigh of rust anywhere. You going to cut it open for a look inside?

The ph5 replaced the ph13 a few years back.

The greasy handprint dates back to 2004 era. They had a TV ad where a guy was eating a Wonder bread sandwich while he changed the oil, and got his bread all dirty in the process.

I used a few of those until I cut one open. Fiber end caps and about 12 pleats.

It's not very old having the sure grip. My guess 10-12 years. If I had a application , I wouldn't hesitate using it.

Think you're right & most likely 2004. I don't even remember the handprint on the boxes but I vaguely remember the commercial.

Here's an old BITOG post talking about the racing logo back in 2003.

SureGrip has been around for at least 25 years now.

I too am going with 2004. By 2014 Fram owned by Rank Group since early 2011. Thinking by 2014 any reference to Honeywell on filter would be gone.

Good catch & Agreed

The only two vehicles that it could have gone on would have been my folks either the 32 Ford Roadster or the 51 Split window Chevy pickup. But they are stored in a shed a hundred miles away.
