QUOTE(playr158 @ Jul 8, 2007 - 4:46 PM) [snapback]576126[/snapback] fram filters are crap...they are cardboard basically. trash it and get a better filter. What is in the TRD filters, then? Gold mesh? The Fram synthetic filters cost about twice as much as anything on the shelf, and 5x as much as the regular fram filters. Can you tell me what is wrong with them in more technical terms? |

Can you tell me what is wrong with them in more technical terms? fram uses smaller holes, less holes, and their drain back seal is not rubber and they do fail. i use only purolator pureone filters which filter very well, have bigger holes than fram, a better gasket than fram, silicone drain back valve vs frams cardboard ones, and since switching (car came with a bag of free frams) my oil is cleaner at 3k than it was at 1500 miles! -------------------- |
