#22 of 100 Fram x2 by syjet1 Oct 04, 2000 (11:31 pm)
Has anyone heard anything about Fram's new oil filter. What I did hear is that it can filter for about 7000 miles before it neeeds to be replaced. It cost about $10 same as the Mobil 1 filter. I wonder if it filters as good as the Mobil 1 filter? Jim
#23 of 100 Fram ???? by armtdm Oct 05, 2000 (6:46 pm)
Sorry, but at this point I cannot believe anything Fram says or does. Do skunks ever change their spots/color???? Probably a very cheap filter at a price to make you think that it is up there in quality with Mobil 1 or Pure One. Why bother when you can get the best from another manufacturer
#24 of 100 2001 Corolla's oil filter by cyrusc Oct 11, 2000 (12:35 am)
Can anyone tell me that if the 2001 Toyota Corolla's oil filter is the same as that used on 2000 and/or 1999 Corolla? Another stupid question: where is the oil filter located? It's crowded under the hood and I see one cylinder on the front side of the engine block. Is that it?
#25 of 100 New Head Gaskets OK? by nightlinger Oct 14, 2000 (11:39 am)
When Chrysler developed the new head gasket to replace the one that kept leaking, did that solve the problem? Or, have the new gaskets also had the same problem?
#26 of 100 Amsoil-Hastings/Baldwin by armtdm Oct 19, 2000 (7:01 pm)
As most of you know, Amsoil does not make its own filters. I always thought that they were made by Hastings. Well, come to find out Hastings was purchased by Baldwin (actually conglomerate) Clarcor, in 1991 and purchased Hastings in 1995. Baldwin/Clarcor manufactures multiple filters under different specs for multiple brands. Amsoil filters are made in two locations, one in S.Dakota the other in Nebraska, the SD plant originally Hastings. Not sure if anyone ever knows what they are purchasing anymore from anyone.
#27 of 100 Fram X2 to syjet1 by himplom Oct 26, 2000 (9:47 pm)
To answer your question in the most scientific fashion, go ahead and print the report "Engine Oil Filter Study" here at this discussion topic http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/minimopar/oil filterstudy.html . I did and was so motivated I cut an a Fram DG8A off my Ford pickup and was shocked and disgusted at the lousy construction. Conclusion? Why buy and Fram filter when there are so many better ones. As such I bought 3 Bosch Premium in the black box at $4.99 each then I cut one open and compared it to the Fram DG8A. The Bosh made the Fram look really bad. Then I got a Hastings carried by ABC Auto here in East Texas and it was pretty good to. Bottom line - Bosch and Hastings were both a lot better than the Fram. So I packed up 4 Fram X2's I had bought a few weeks ago, took em back to Wal-Mart and got my money back.

Are there any metal pieces inside the new frams or are they all cardboard like the old ones
