FRAM oil filters
 

This may have already been brought up but I am going to bring it up anyway because of the potential problems it could cause. I am not sure how many of you run the FRAM HP4 oil filters but I just found out that there is a recall on them. Something about the seal letting go and losing oil pressure. If you go on their website it will tell you how to determine if you have a potentially bad one.

Go here to see if yours is one of the f-ed up ones.

THERE JUNK...only filters i use are NAPA GOLD'S OR WIX RACING

Wix Racing all the way :cool-smiley-011: I would'nt use the fram if you gave me a case of em

X 2

I've used Fram, K&N, NAPA Racing, Mercury Racing, Wix etc. and the only one I've ever had a problem with was the Mobil1 filter......

fram oil filters are junk!!

Make sure you think about this the next time you pull your car or truck into a quick lube.

As far as my boat I like to use ac delco, thinking these are the people who designed the engine.

I agree, had a fram collapse and puke an engine.:( My engine builder was pissed and said to switch to the Napa Gold or Wix. Happens more often than me he said.

What is the Wix number that replaces the Fram HP4?

i had 2 frams collapse and was about to pull a engine for a oil filter they suck

Fram = Garbage Filters

Fram are crap. Most gearheads are aware of that. Stay far away.

Anyone?

Mercury Racing. Maybe more $ than others, but still less expensive than a rebuild..

Hydrocruiser did a study on filtration years ago...it's on the board here you just need to do a little research.

Has anyone used or considered the Frantz bypass oil filter as an add-on? Would seem to do a lot of good for performance boating applications.
