Fram oil filters

[Chemical]

2ners i'v read some really bad posts via oil filter study on the net & stated that the frams are poorly built internally & the anti drain back valve is no good. Where can i buy purolator filter for the qg15.

after reading, I should really change this filter the next time.

Any one out there uses any other brand

pls see:

Let me go out on a limb here & say "Thanx, I would have never thought of it !!"

[Dragsta]

and ppl does rate up Fram oil filter so much

i guess i'll stick to the ordinary purelator

[pimptacular]

an i always here thinking fram is a best brand..never used it tho buh glad i didnt now

[venum]

Sakura

works better than FRAM and purolator

[THE SYNDICATE]

GOOD INFO..WILL HAVE TO CHANGE MINE NEXT TIME....

[Polydor]

BUY OEM.

[Polydor]

BUY ORIGINAL OEM.

[Chemical]

OEM mexico or japan. Dollar savers have a filter where de box looking from behind the counter like Nissan. Who makes OEM oil filters & how come Fram is the official NHRA filter

[sss]

run veryyyyyyyyyyyyy far from that fram filter it blew out on me twice oil all over the place

[V2NR 3.0]

I have been using Fram filters for over 2 years now on a NZE corolla (local). Runs san juan to point every day and have never had no problems.

Works fine for me.

[Polydor]

Well I but mine from The Motorist....

It says made in Japan on the box and it's the blue filter.....just a little piece of mind....pay bout $35 bucks for the filter so I don't think it's all that bad.

[Chemical]

Well I called N&M and they quoted me $113.00 for the qg15.

[wagonrunner]

^^
sigh.

[Zero-Cool]

fram works fine.
never had a problem with it.
however the sakura filters are great...
the reason why the filter blew out, if it's an SR20 was because u put the wrong filter on it.

the sakura C1814 works great. on the SR that is.

dont think im changing the fram doh..
cheers.

Zero.

What about the K&N filters ? Can I use the extended drain with this filter?

[ronsin1]

I was at long circular yesterday at auto and lotto and saw the K&N oil filter and was wondering how it would work I think next oil chage I will use one of those I running a fram right now with no problems!

I guess is a matter of the oil presure that passes through the filter that will cause it to blow out!!!!!

[venum]

^^^ supposed to be great stuff

one of my friends with an Evo VI RS2 uses it and highly recommends it

I personally do not find it worth the $$$ on either of my engines (4G15 DOHC EFI & 4G18 SOHC)

simple Sakura will do for 1/2 teh price

for a boosted high performance engine I think it's worth it

[Rudman]

The K&N Gold oil filters are about $90 each, very close to the price of an OEM filter from the firm. So if I had to choose between the stock OEM and the K&N, I would definately go with the K&N pricewise.

The construction of the K&N far exceeds what the stock offers, for the same money, so I will agree with venum if I had a high performance engine K&N is the way to go.

TECH TALK
Our Performance Gold Oil Filters use a cellulose media bound by phenolic resin surrounding a metal inner core that provides structural strength to reduce the risk of filter collapse. The resin is the "glue" that holds the media fibers together and at the same time keeps "pores" open by keeping the fibers apart. The resin is cured to full strength during the element manufacturing process. Phenolic resin systems are an excellent choice for the high temperature demands of oil filters. Our filter includes an anti-drainback valve, when applicable, that prevents oil from draining back into the crankcase during engine shutdown. The anti-drainback valve is useful in situations where the filter is mounted horizontally which could allow backflow. We use rolled threads to help prevent stripping during installation or removal and an internally lubricated gasket provides a positive seal even after the filter has been removed and reinstalled.

But like venum, I run a budget engine (same 4G15 DOHC) so the Sakura and the Purolator suffices for me. I run an oil pressure guage and I could tell you the Purolator stands up to pressures of 100 psi with no problems.

i bought a fram filter today for my 4age 20v what are some of d advantage/disadvantage using it, with havoline 20W 50 oil


i want to now today seeing i have to use it tomorrow

[VexXx Dogg]

been running fram filters on a b16a for over 5 years.
NO problems.

that is with a lot of 8000 RPM motor speeds.
regular driving 3-5K RPM

[rolling_hard]

what about d oil?

[33 hertz]

I used to believe in fram until Cyclops showed me two engines that got screwed from Fram filters. The filter element broke down and starved the engine of oil in a local Prado and on a SR20DET. Purolator has never let me down.

[rolling_hard]

DAMN! *i wonder if they will exchange it*

[X_Factor]

Purolator or Sakura FTW!!!

[FullStop]

yup, i've been warning ppl about fram for a while now, i've converted to K&N or purolater. check this out, u can gauge build quality of the average oil filter from this:

Have a read. Shows just how much of a risk we put our "investments" in when we try to cut costs.

AGREED!

[cacasplat3]

BUY ORIGINAL OEM.

victim #1
why would you want to buy a filter from someone who specializes in something else??????

Sakura

works better than FRAM and purolator

and how do you know this?????
have you done oil analysis on the oils?

ah not trying to flame anybody, but bring proof........

i never use fram, cuz i have seen the element break to pieces and damage a friend's sr20de, but before that i read reviews online of what rubbish it is......

that's why i stick to purlator......i cant say for sure that the purlator works better, but i'm sure its of a better quality.
however the K&N is know to sacrifice filtration for flow, its better for racing applications and non-dusty conditions as far as i know.....
