LOL that's awesome! I bailed on Fram a long time ago. I use Wix on my wife's Liberty, and OEM Nissan for my G35.

I try to tell people how inferior they are, but in some cases, people walk right out of my work when I tell them we don't carry them, only Wix filters. Fram has built up quite a customer base since other companies did very little in the brain sapping world of TV commercials.

Saw the dumbest thing in the world the other day at advanced auto; guy spent $$$ on synthetic oil for his car, puts a fram oil filter next to it.

I really hate when autozone or Advanced has their oil deals for frams. I buy the fram just to get a discount and then buy a filter of my choice and throw the fram out when I get home lol

Open for questions, ready to shovel the lies and BS away from the Purolater company that is afraid to reveal how poorly their filters work compared to anything Fram makes. Jay.Buckley@Framgrp.com

Really? Why not watch the videos and learn something? Purolator doesnt want to talk about filter efficiency, so they jump on the slam FRAM bandwagon? Pathetic. Fram is OE on Hondas and Subarus, obviously very reliable cars. AC Delco uses a felt end cap. Bentley and Nissan both use fiber end caps. Toyota uses no end caps at all. End caps dont filter the oil, the media does. Our efficiency is 96% to 99% percent depending on the model using the only OE recognized test ISO 4548-12. Purolator posts results using some BS test that uses bowling ball size particles.

I get it, industry says non-metal end caps are ok. But industry also has ways of doing cheap things because they are cheap, not better. Why doesn't FRAM just use metal end caps and then have superior media and construction?

Seems plenty of other companies are making filters this way including GM. Why? Because nothing seals the ends of the media cartridge better. Ever try to glue something to a smooth surface? Metal end caps do not make a filter better, expensive media does. The Bentley filter is ona 345,000 dollar car. Why? Because it works.

It could have the best specs of any filter out there and i still wouldnt use one because theyre flat out ugly... its like marrying a girl solely for her personality
edit: and a fram filter is on that bentley because im assuming fram won the contract bid....
