Which Fram Oil Filter.
I believe Fram was bought or or purchased by Allied Signal in the 80’s. They sucked up I believe (don’t hold me to it) champion and a few others. It was that point Fram went down hill. As far as I am concerned. After that point the Housing was easier to crush taking off and honestly after watching a few videos on boob tube present day, I was shocked how after like 7-12psi most of the filters go into bypass mode anyhow. The filter becomes worthless. Most of the time your engine is at 30-60psi. So if oil is leaking by (or gushing by) for that matter… is no filter better for engine flow? The best filters are centrifuge style. There are racing high flow filters that catch like 90% of the debris. If a factory puts a screw on filter on a car and has to guarantee that engine for 30,000miles or more with just an oil and filter change every 5,000miles then I guess pick the filter you like.
