insides of fram & oem oil filters

[Night Wolf]

I found this while search for stuff on the net.





I didnt know that fram filters were that bad. I think Ill choose OEM next time

i knew fram sucked, but not that much

They have always sucked. bobistheoilguy.com has all the specs on that stuff. Did an oil filter comparison and crap on all of them. Fram was one of the worst lol.

Very nice job on the comparison pics.

It depends on the which filter you buy. The 15400-PLM-A02 is made by Honeywell which is suppose to be the parent company of fram. The one that most people use is the 15400-PLM-A01 or the s2000 filters made by toyo roki part number 15400-PCX-004.

theres only one thing i like about the fram filter and it's that gritty stuff on the end of it to help turn the filter by hand.

[reas0n555]

I just want to say thank you.... I will never use a Fram filter again.

I knew they weren't as great but i never expected it to be that severe of a difference.

Would any of you here recommend the Mobil one oil filters>

i had no clue thanks for the advice

[Leung]

didn't they discontinue making the A01 filter? there was another thread about oil filters in the Beginner's section where someone who said they worked at a Dealer said that they no longer make and use the A01s.

on a side note..

there was a guy selling Honda filters on the classified section, i forget his name now but i just checked my stock of them and they are marked A02.

I got a brand new fram in my trunk right now, I guess i'll never use it now.

WIX was tested on bobistheoilguy.com and got pretty good results. I run RP 10/30 with a WIX oil filter on my car. Works wonders. Yea I forgot to mention there are 3 types of Honda filters. One was made in Canada, US, and Japan. The one in Canada/US didnt test too well. U.S only did a tad better than Canada and Japan design was way different compared to the other 2 variants.
