Fram oil filter
#12
I had a fram on a sbc with the bypass plugged in a dragster , made 2 passes on fresh oil and filter , lost pressure while on return road , shut it off and pulled it back to truck , I thought the worst and a friend of mine said to check the filter , we did and it was collapsed. :shock: ..borrowed a wix from another racer and fired it back up , full pressure , have been useing wix or napa (same filter) ever since with never a problem ,

Has anyone used or use the K&N oil filters?
