Any problems?

The orange canister of death ..

Napa gold , or Wix for me

Everything.

If you want to use a Fram, use an HP-1. Otherwise, don't bother.

Not even on a lawn mower. Are you new? That's like Crap to Avoid Like the Plague 101.

With 1100+ post I hardly think he is new.... OP... use a Wix on it and dont worry

Not even good for a boom-stick suppressor. Garbage. Throw it away, and never buy another.

Day- ummmm .....

Wix 51515 for a bigblock race motor.

I know they are expensive, but for a race car I like something like a System One filter, it is cleanable, easy to check and see if your engine is making metal, super heavy duty housing never have to worry about them bursting, and eventually it will pay for itself because you never have to buy another filter. On 340's they give you more header clearance. Usually they pick up the oil pressure slightly as well.

Plus you can say you are protecting the environment, no more oily filters in the landfill.

Nope.

My Dad has been running them since before I was born, and I've been running them my entire life.

We're in a good-sized town and everyone here runs Fram and believe Me: if there was a problem, the whole place would have heard about it. Race or no-race.

I would have to classify the comments on here as baseless and ignorant.

I had a Fram on my car and the oil pressure dropped to 10 psi and after checking things a friend
told me to change the filter.. the pressure came right back.. never used a Fram again..
my brother had his pressure fall off I told him to change the filter and it came back up

grizz... Grizz..... GRIZZZZZZZ !

Yur gonna RILE UP some here ! .....

Ordered the Wix racing filter today. Seems I do recall there being issues with them but thought maybe they had fixed the problems.
Besides low pressure what else is the problem?
Thanks Mike

Does anyone here have any issues with the Jomar filter.
Thanks................Ted

They are cheaply made pieces of poo. Search youtube for fram filter comparison. It's all you need to know.

If it can stand the pressure use it. All filters have a bypass made into them for a reason, free flowing. Get into the rpms and your high dollar filter ain’t doing squat. If it does stop up guess what happens, no oil pressure. Oil filters on a race car are useless imo since if something breaks you ain’t gonna get it shut off in time to keep the parts out of the pump. If it breaks real good it shuts its own self off after the flames and carnival ride. For iron particles, big magnets in the pan and other places where the oil flows freely, easy to check and clean. Aluminum, brass will not hurt anything, just imbed into the bearings. STREET is a whole nuther animal a good filter Is necessary for the many hours of slow speed running around. Tell me, how can dirt and grit get into your sealed up engine other than thru the carb?

I too had lost 15 PSI on a Fram. Did not think much about it till I dropped all oil pressure at 6000 RPM going thru the traps and my Idiot light came on.

A fellow racer had a spare Wix 51515, Installed it and finished the night and drove home.

A few months later I changed oil and grabbed the last one off my shelf and installed it. In two weeks it too lost about 10 PSI. Pulled the first one out of the trash and cut it open. Found it was all smashed inside, cut the second one and it too was smashed just not as bad.

deeJAY ... 15lb loss would indicate to me ON THE SURFACE.... that the filter is actually FILTERING... instead of going on bypass ...

Wix 51515R for racing, Wix 51515 for the street.

NOW ONLY if we all had THE BANK of SOME PEOPLE on here ...
