fuel filter brand ????? Reply #1 – March 13, 2007, 10:51:09 PM Not sure, but I have been using either Purolator or an Amsoil filter when I switch to synthetic. Purolator or Wix are reccommended if you don't use the Amsoil filter. It will need changed more often though. Quote Selected

fuel filter brand ????? Reply #3 – March 13, 2007, 11:35:36 PM The problem with Fram oil filters is their drainback device, not the actual filter medium. Thus, a Fram fuel filter should be fine.The whole Fram oil filter debacle is confined to Extra Guard filters, not the Tough Guard filters. (or so say the internets) Quote Selected

Reply #5 – March 14, 2007, 09:16:05 AM Well, the other problem with frams is that the filter element has cardboard endcaps, instead of stamped steel like most of the other brands out there. So there's a chance the endcaps can disintegrate and go into your engine. Quote Selected
