Wish you the best tom.

I've been running Bosch or ford motorcraft on my junk. working on getting my new engine off the stand after 10 years. I'm hopping it doesn't eat oil. guess ill have to start doing oil changes again once I get it going.

Hey Tom ,make sure you take time to heal.......health first! When you're bored, you can take any left over Fram products you have along with a baseball bat and have some fun!

Never had any fuel filter issues, but I can say this. when checked via an oil pressure gauge screwed into the sending unit port, a Fram filter showed 3 PSI LESS than a Mobil One filter. Both tests had the same brand and weight oil. Running a K&N right now. I may try a Royal Purple in the future....

Any vehicle I care about, I dont use Fram. I usually use Wix fuel filters, never had any problems. I change them pretty regular/frequent though.

My 06 Silverado, dont get me started on the in-tank filter design. I hope it holds up, first one Ive had with that.

Any experience on longevity with those Tom?

well ,, one day we are gonna resort to some old school filters back in the model t days.
unscrew the cap, put a roll of toilet paper in, screw the cap back on. basically a can with a lid and the filter inside.

we cant trust anything anymore it appears.

When my buddy bought my tbird, it got horrible gas mileage. The fuel filter was actually rusted through. I doubt very many people ever change the fuel filter, especially once the warranty runs out.

I worked 15 years in a parts store on a part-time basis and I saw two Fram oil filters brought to me with the filter element loose for street driven applications, two different part numbers if I recall. However when I was racing mini stock I saw a THREE racing engines (two 2000cc Pinto engines and one 2300cc Lima engines) killed by PH8A filters. All of those engines had 6 quart oil pans and high volume pumps and ran in the 8000 RPM range and all of those engines sucked the filter element through the filter and stopped up into the engine.

Fram is bad JuJu.

All this anti Fram stuff is mostly carried over from some filter dissembles close to 20 years ago, now days little of it applies...
