That sounds correct, THANKS up


Amsoil Sold the same thing , not sure if they still do.
No they do not. In fact if you cut one of their filters open they are identical to a wix racing filter or napa gould.

This is not a full flow system any more.
The Franz and Amsoil are now a 'Bypass' oiling system where a small amount of oil is tee'ed off the main filtered oil feed to go thru the Toilet Paper. It can not flow enough to supply the engine in full flow. The Bypass'ed oil is filtered down to 2 microns and then just dumped back into the oil pan.

A Fram PH8 and Wix 51515 are about 20 microns. Tests have said that anything above 5 microns is bad for long term use.

The Fram PH8A, HP1 and Wix 51515R are about 40 microns and the idea is that you will dump the oil after so many races, RACES not street miles.

Ok...So my wife picked up a NAPA Gold for my 64 Dodge and one for my 95 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 magnum. The total for the pair was 17.00 without sales tax. Fram filters sell for a lot less at the farm store. I always run Wix or Napa Gold on the drag car but the old Ram I usually put a cheap farm store filter on it. That truck has almost 190000 miles on it and no problem with oil pressure... wave


The end is near.....

I think most off brand filters are made better than the Fram. I would use anything else than a Fram.

Ya I’m good. It’s nice getting a heads up call and getting them at 40-50% off during their biannual sale. She’s a real cutie and great at looking up and getting me parts for my 50 year old junk cars.

No TP is too far scarce these days to even consider that! I remember seeing those ads as a kid and couldn't understand how that would not come apart and clog up the sump. I mean hell even my finger breaks through that stuff once in awhile. laugh2

I have read this oil filter post from the start.
There were a couple of replies about the K&N filters.
I had been using the HP-3001 with no problems.
So after reading this I decided to install a WIX filter and see if there was an oil pressure increase?
I didn't notice much of a change in pressure.
But I decided to cut the filter open and see what it looked like inside.
The part that shows in my picture is where it was distorted a bit.
From those in the know what are your thoughts on the distortion?
Thanks! MJ

I don't think that is a big deal. Looks like they had room for more pleats though.

I've cut a bunch of different brand oil filters apart for inspections, I don't remember seeing that in any of the Wix filters I've inspected work
I have seen that in other brands, maybe they are in a hurry and don't do very good quality control work

While I am sure they are adequate, the reviews of K&N oil filters I have seen, compared to others have not been that great.
