Oil Filters
 
Anyone know a place in the USA to buy FRAM RACING HP4 filters by the case?

I am paying over 20 bucks CDN in Toronto.

I want them by the case.

I'd look into Wix filters. In my opinion thye are much better than Fram.

I wouldn't use a Fram if they paid me!

I agree Wix or K&N, Fram really isn't doing anything

Go to : www.Filter1.com Large Distributor of WIX Filters, cross that Fram number to a WIX Racing filter 51060R.

They will hook you up, part of our family's business, they do ship internationally, specialize in case quantity sales.

I agree 100%. WIX, or K&N, IMO are the best, but if I were stuck with a autopart store brand I would get a Purolator.

Cut them open and check out the guts if you think that they're all the same... They're not!

Advanced Auto Parts stores usually stock 2 HP4 filters at a time for about $8.50 a piece

I was told the Fram racing filter is different. I will cut both open and take a look.

You should defintely be using WIX racing filters (or even the regular WIX filter). They are by far the best for our boats. Fram is not in the same hemisphere.

thanks guys. The engine guys told me the HP4 Fram Racing was fine to run.

I used to run WIX Racing.
