Lets talk oil filters

[gn7]

Seems some here think that there are dozens and dozens of companies making lead acid car/boat/ truck batteries

So what oil filter are you using, and who do you THINK makes it. And is that company a USA company or a foreign company? Not where the filter is made, but WHO is it that owns the company making YOUR filter??

Based on the battery thread, I think some of you will be surprised!!

Wix, and I'm not sure who makes it.

Fram from Walmart, thought I would just go ahead and be the first one for the sacrifice.

Me too, Fram PH30, when you change your oil every twenty hours I'm not spending $20 on a oil filter. Sorry, it's 2x$20=$40 bucks

Never ran a Fram, and never paid 20.00 for a filter. Even if every filter on the market was 25.00, I still wouldn't run a Fram. And I run two filters as well. I guess the idea of not having a filter and engine failure is worth more than that to me.
Hey, at least you didn't go with the short, tiniest filter Fram makes. The PH3592(PH35) is a little smaller, and only belongs a Vega.
Never let anybody ever tell you a larger filter will flow more oil. That's total bullshit. They all flow the same.

Ok, what is bad about Fram oil filters. I have ran the HP4 for years but the new power has the HP6. Not trying to start any crap just maybe a little naive about this. I have been wanting to change over to Wix since that is the mfg of the fuel filter I use.

Thanks in advance for teaching...

Used to run Fram Racing, but switched to K&N a few years ago when I heard Fram changed up there internals.

I try to buy as much American stuff as I can too, I don't know how anyone runs their boat, I only know mine and I don't run it hard, the Mercruiser filters are three times more expensive as Frams,
I've been using them in my boats for thirty years and have never had a failure due to the oil or filter, but I change my oil more frequently than most, I appreciate your passion, but like everything else in this world "to each his own"

Lets see, do we go with paper end caps, or metal? MMMmmmmm, that's a tough one!


Pleat count, or total amount of filter media in the orange can Fram is kind of sad too.
But hey, if you save 20 bucks a year, what the hell.

gn7, you definately have the facts to back up your claims, but your commentary is funny and the best part of your posts.
