Well boys, I have used fram filters on a handfull of race engines I buillt with no problems. Until now.
I quit using them becouse of everything i heard, even though I had never had a failure. Well, last week i had a customer call me saying that his oil pressure droped from 55lbs @1100 rpm to 19lbs , and all he did was change the oil and filter. (I sent it out with a wix race filter, he changed to a fram) I told him to change the filter and call me back. He called me back today after installing another wix, and the oil pressure returned to 55lbs.
Im the last person to throw stones......but i will never install another fram oil filter.
