Fram junk! I have an endouro car with a350 and HV oil pump, After 54 laps, I noticed the oil pressure dropping. If I let out of the throttle, Oil pressure would go up 5 more psi. If I get back in the throttle, the oil pressure would go down 5 psi. I had 60 psi at the start of the race. I almost pulled the motor condemning the crank, but instead changed the filter and 65 PSI WAS BACK! I cut the old filter open and found the inside was ruptured! Fram almost cost me time and $$$$, But after reading this posting I got away easy. Thanks to you all who commented on this topic!!! :D :D :D

It's just too bad nobody from Fram reads this! Maybe we could start a Class Action Lawsuit. In a Class Action suite we wouldn't get much, but it would cost Fram a ton and it would become public knowledge which is the main thing anyway.

I think Fram knows their is a problem with their filters they just know if they admit in court or any where else they would open themselves up to a pool of people that would come back claiming that Fram was the cause of a huge amount of motor failures. So it's deny,deny,deny. It's better than paying who knows how much in damages? I do agree that a class action law suit would be the way to go. Not to mention if this gets out the people that won't have to go through what I and many others have gone through because of these piece of crap filters!!!! Do we have a lawyer on the boards that would take this on ??? Most likely not ...... They don't like to get their hands dirty or should I say Greasy! I do hope that by me posting this I have saved some guys from the expense I had to deal with.

Thx Stan

I have an Uncle that runs circle track and that's all he will use...I have mentioned the bad reputation and he says he has ran em for years with no trouble.... :? I hope he don't become the next victim.

yea fram is the worst oil filter ive seen. they suck at filtering ur oil and most ive seen leak no matter how good u put them on and there usualy hard as hell to get off. the gaskets also fall of alot when ur putting them on wich some people dont pay attention to and spray there oil out everywhere. fram sucks!!!!!

I have used Fram for 15 yrs never had a prob with them. But from what I read I think I am with everybody else and going to a diff brand. I seen a Fram and Wix I believe cut apart and they were very diff. I hsould have changed then.
