Knock on wood....Ive never had a problem with Fram filters.....

My Nissan has 230xxx miles on it. Almost always used Frams on it....and OMG Trop Artic oil....

Had the pan, front of motor, etc off to change the timing chain and it looks very very nice. If I posted a pic of it you would think it has maybe 50k on it....

Im not doubting that a Wix/Napa, etc filter is better, but Ive not had any issues....yet.



I had similar luck with a 305 in a Chevy truck. I went 367,000 with Fram PH30 filters. It spun 3 rod bearings but still ran! Maybe using Fram filters is comparable to driving without seatbelts or prophylactics...... the danger is all around you, but some come out unscathed...........
