Need help finding Fram filter i can use

[kalloggs40]

Hey any Fram guys here that can help me find a FRAM to use on my Alfa Romeo.

Current one i use is RYCO Z690

Rant:

For those who hate FRAM i am actually a supporter now after doing many tests on them at work a few months back and they cost me $27 PH7317 to get one posted from the USA so i am paying top dollar, 5 litres of oil costs $29 so i am paying almost the same price just for one filter.

You may have to buy several to keep the price low(er) w/shipping

Yeah thanks, i was using ebay. I do have an Amazon account but i havent used for 3 years. Problem is postage cost, they cost around 6-9 dollars but postage is the killer.

My next OCI is May so i will log into Amazon then and see how much they charge for postage.

My tests see my thread http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3054554/Re:_Fram_is_better#Post3054554

and the fact i havent had an issue yet using them.

Yea, I have use FRAM also w/o issues for about 20+ yrs. Oh, maybe a little startup rattle but, that it! But, I only paid minimal for them when I did use them. I'll use one today if it comes with an OCI(5qts w/Fram) but, their cost(stores are charging a high price) is more than the Purolators that I can get anywhere.

 

[kalloggs40]

you guys are so lucky, FRAM is so cheap there.

Never been to a Wallmart but would love to go one day when i tour the USA

C'mon over!
