- I don't understand why quality has become so bad with many oil filter manufacturers. Aftermarket or OEM the best engine oil filters made. The worst oil filters are also cut open. Acdelco oil filter comparison.
After I cut open these oil filters I was STUNNED! Proof wix xp oil filters & Mobil1 isn't the only oil filter you need to see cut open but also the fram tough guard oil filter even K&N oil filter in comparison to supertech oil filter. We even review Fram ultra synthetic vs wix xp. Best oil filter mannol? or bosch oil filter even Microgard oil filter.
Today on Nates interactive auto we show the engine oil filters that are supposed to be known for high quality. Unfortunately that is easier said as we show why opening The Mobil1 extended performance motor oil filter. Next Fram ultra synthetic oil filter. Even more unbelievable The wix xp extended performance. with today's extended drain intervals oil filtration is more important than ever. Do not use fram filters? you decide for yourself. oil filter review with royal purple, amsoil and many other brands you must know about like super tech oil filter. best oil filter or oil filter comparison you decide like purolator oil filter and synthetic oil filter. good oil filters such as k&n oil filter also tested napa oil filter plus stp oil filter or even oil filter review.

What would be a great way to test oil filters?
ok
Some kind of pneumatic pump ,clear hose ,clear sump,dirty oil,.You gotta find a way to run dirty oil through brand new filters in real time and be able to physically see the filter clean the oil up after a given amount of time .
Use the filters on cars, cut them open after the miles they claim on the packaging and see how they hold up
Maybe go by weight gain of the oil filter. Run good oil through a filter and weigh the difference in weight of the filter, then bad oil and do the same. Or something like that.
Using a small scale like a kitchen scale, test with about 1/2 cup of dirty oil. Drill a hole in each filter for the exit side for the dirty oil in and let it drain into a container on the scale. As long as you're using the exact same amount the scale should show a slight difference in weight. The lighter weight is a better filter.
I'm amazed you found a Walmart with the lookup computer actually working!
🤣🤣😂 for real or the book with all the pages
what is more amazing is the shelf is not a glass covered with locks
Yea, I hate Walmart. I have run into that problem before though most of the time it's working. The paper ref book is missing pages.
You'll want to sanitize after touching that screen. 🤮
@@whiskeybuilder6335 good idea
Unfortunately, this is yet another completely unscientific look at oil filters. The reason Fram use *resin-impregnated* cardboard end caps is that they bond better to the filter medium than metal end caps do. The use of metal end caps is purely for marketing purposes (stronger material, therefore must be better, yes? Well, actually, no.). Also, you can't judge the effectiveness of the filter medium just by how long it is or by how even the pleats are. What's important is how effective it is in trapping really small particles, i.e. 20 microns or smaller. The only real way to test filters is by running them in an engine under standard test conditions, and then measuring the amount and size of trapped particles in the filter and the same for the engine oil. And you do realise that nearly all the filters on the market are made by just three manufacturers, right?
As others have said, the best way to protect your engine is by using the recommended viscosity oil, and changing both it and the filter on a regular basis. This is especially important for vehicles that do mostly short runs in stop-start traffic that never have a chance to warm up properly. This type of operating condition promotes the formation of sludge, and sludge is the enemy of long engine life, ladies and gentlemen!
The fact that there are only 3 manufacturers has no bearing on the specific quality of the filters they make. And just bc one can't see damage by using cheap filters, it doesn't mean the damage isn't there
Been using Fram only since 1972 with no problems. Still own my first car.
I've been using standard (cheap) oil filters all my life on all my vehicles...never damaged any engine related to lubricity issues...
Super tech is my go to, but I drive an older Corolla shitbox
I've used Fram oil filters since the 1970's and never had a problem ever on my engines
FRAM has never failed me in 25 years, but I do look them over before purchase,
they engine wreckers when chinavirus took over ok.
I only use fram ultra synthetic and pennzoil ultra platinum for my hondas
The engines are so clean they almost look new
Zero varnish and zero slack in the valve lash
I've used Fram filters for 50 years, my father used them for decades prior to that, and most of my family & friends have used them for decades as well. Never personally known anyone who had a problem, or ever heard of anyone I've known having a problem. Guess those thousands of "OCOD" Fram filters never saw any of the CZcams videos that said they're crap. Currently have a '09 Hyundai Santa Fe that's never had anything but Fram Orange can filters and Valvoline 5w-20 conventional oil and semi-syn Max-Life and it has 178,000 miles on it and uses zero oil. Same with our '04 Nissan Xterra, Fram filters, 5w-30 Valvoline conv & Max-Life, with 198,000 miles, and it's still tight and no oil use. Buy what you want, and don't worry too much. Spend as much as you need to to sleep well at night, it's your equipment. 👍
I've been using a Fram on the same vehicle for 36 years, since it was new. No issues. The engine has never been apart.
I have used fram filters and Pennzoil on all my cars and they have gone 500,000, 600,000 miles apiece,
I can see I’ve been doing the right thing all these years by using the factory AC Delco filters on my ‘95 3.1l equipped Oldsmobeater. Could also be why it’s got over 312,000 miles and still goin strong.
3.1s and 3.8s are nearly unkillable no matter what you do to them
This dudes videos have more drama and anticipation than most movies
The hole on the K&N filter is there for safety wire to prevent the canister from turning and becoming loose. They are a standard feature on aircraft filters where the wire is required.
Many race track tech inspections too.
High performance applications
As he said!🤷
Haha the thing about Fram helping you find and also cross reference the filters is totally true, I work for other x brand and even we use their site to find obscure filters.
The glue on the 3 steel plate filters being globbed on is because they have to use a lot of glue to get 2 completely different materials to adhere to each other. The Fram Tough Guard filter looks much cleaner because the fiber backing plate is made of similar material as their filter media itself, so it requires much less glue and a much less expensive glue to get them to adhere to each other. I use the XG Fram filters in my own vehicles, but if the XG for my application were out of stock, I'm fine with grabbling a Tough Guard.
My family are farmers, and we've used Fram for multiple decades and we've never had an engine failure on a tractor, a combine, a truck or a car where we could point to the filter being the cause, and we've used a LOT of Fram's. My Grandpa even ran the local Gambles Hardware Store in my hometown and he sold Fram. This was back in the 40's, 50's and 60's.
A lot of companies use parts that are made by someone else too. Very rarely do you have a company that completely builds their product from scratch. So parts can be purchased from a single part manufacturer, then assembled from those parts in-house. Therefore, parts can look like the parts from another company because they used the same part from the same manufacturer. Also, the entire part can actually be made by someone else completely, then painted the correct color and have the company's own stickers/stencils put on.
Ford, Chrysler and GM don't build their own oil filters, they contract that out to a 3rd party vendor to make for them with their own specific specs.
AC Delco oil filter manufacturing company doesn't exist.
Mopar oil filter manufacturing company doesn't exist.
Motorcraft oil filter manufacturing company doesn't exist.
They are all contracted out to another company to make for them.
There are even a few car companies who's factory oil filters are made by Fram.
Thanks for informative videos. I use the KN filter exclusively. So far in the last 12 years, I haven't had any issues and run pennzoil synthetic. Oil gets changed every 4-5 thousand miles. The vehicle is 22 years old and runs pretty good.
yes
The lower end Frams do NOT use cardboard.
They are fiber end caps made of material very similar to the filter media. Some OEM Honda, Nissan and some AC delcos have fiber end caps as well.
99 Blazer, standard Fram filters, Valvoline Synthetic, 324,000 miles, no issue. Changed every 5k.
Same here...I have been using Fram oil filters and valvoline in my truck for 25 yrs, no motor issues to date.
@@ricksspringfield45 I use nothing but Fram Tough Guard (and Castrol High-Mileage synthetic blend oil) every 5,000 miles on my 1995 Sentra with over 400,000 miles on it so far. Never used additives. Going for a half million miles just to see if I can.
Edit: I should have mentioned that I went through all the Fram filters that have the same base plate as the filter that's "supposed" to go on my engine and use the longest one I could find. (It's over an inch longer.)
@@charlesrichards5389 : A 95 Nissan Sentra with above 400,000 clicks, now that's quality of old Nissans.
96 Nissan Quest, odometer broke at 250K miles 6 years ago. Guess this minivan has passed well over 300K miles now on Fram regular filter. I change it every 7500 miles, so far the engine still runs good. It has become my poor man's truck hauling dirt, lumber and large objects instead of kids. Plan to keep it till the transmission or engine broke...
I’ve used Fram for years and had no idea that they cut corners. I really like the k and n construction but that nut is really nice- that will work well on my Jeep as the filter is in a very tight place - great vid!
Fram used to be good in the old days but modern Fram has really gone down hill. Hence the name "orange can of death".
@@SaturdaySportsman I use the Fram Synthetic oil filters & do not believe the thickness of the outer case maters unless your driving a 4 X 4 or SUV that has an exposed oil filter. My car has an aluminum cover over the oil filter so its protected from the road debris & will not be going Off Road ! The metal outside is Gold in color BTW.
We stopped using Mobil1 oil filters & switched to Purolater BOSS filters ONLY..we have over 50+ years of automotive service here at "Home City Auto" family owned
since 1970 Tucson, Az.
I've been a "shade tree" mechanic for 55+ years. Many, many oil changes, many, many oil filters. Broke down and purchased a K & N a few year's ago (believe they were at a discount if one bought two or more.)
Installed on my wife's car. Shortly after that I started seeing oil spots on my driveway...thought it was from delivery trucks or a friends older car. One day when my wife's car was out of the garage, I noticed a twelve inch circle of oil of the floor....where she had been parked.
Attempted to again hand tighten filter (probably over-tightened) but the leak continued. Appeared to be coming from the welded section where the "removal" nut is attached.
Sent email to K & N to inform them and received NO REPLY. Obviously have no interest in supporting customers who pay and arm and a leg for their filters.
Subsequently have seen three or four customer comments that had the same problem with the filter. Obviously K & N must have had a defect with a batch of filters but were too arrogant to care about the issue.
WIX xp and Mobil 1 for me.
The AC Delco, K&N & the older Mobil1 oil filter are basically made in the same plants by the same manufacturer Champ labs ,even the SuperTech is made in the same factory, the newer Mobil1 filter is different & now made by Mann& Hummel
The last two Mobil 1 filters I have bought says made in South Korea. Sad!
@@jabomiles6947 actually South Korea makes decent filters ,it's the Chinese ones to be wary with, Mann & Hummel has a plant in Korea (Mann& Hummel Korea) which use to be Dong Woo filter, which was a OEM supplier for GM Daewoo & Hyundai Mobis (Hyundai KIA) they are decent quality filters, I actually run these filters in my vehicle, they hold up very well
I've been using mainly Canadian Tire Motomaster filters most of my adult life. Never a problem. Just check for leaks, and stay on top of regular maintenance. Pretty simple.
Just switched from using Fram air filters to STP after 40+ years. The STP filter actually looks like it's better made and was like $2 cheaper. And switched over to Bosch oil filters for a couple of dollars more. 2005 Caravan 3.3 150+K miles and running just fine. 👍
Fram are good as any if you do your oil changes on time. Used them for 50 years and not a single problem
Fram was the first aftermarket filter manufacturer and they've been around a long time. I'd say they know what they're doing.
If you change your own oil, get a magnetic oil drain plug. You'll be able to see any little filings that begin to accumulate on the magnet when you remove it to drain the used oil. If you see any filings - your engine's trying to talk to you. Listen to it.
Could've sworn cars , not just modern have these already? I should get the extended type
I know transmission plug bolts have these, didn’t know they made them for engine oil. Thanks
I took power steering pump apart the other day and it had one inside it!!
Put a hundred magnets. BUT most internals in modern engines are NON - ferrous!
I personally have NEVER seen ANY "metal" particles on any oil magnetic drain plug ever!!! Even on engines that had it in the oil!
A motorcycle, yes; & why??! 🤷 Go read & found out.
I have used AC Delco Oil Filters with my GM cars for 30+ years without any issues. Don’t need any other filter for my vehicles.
Based on my observations, the AC Delco looks exactly like the Supertech, FWIW.
Same here! Well, sans the 30+ years (I'm only 32 lol). But yeah, I don't understand why anyone would need anything other than OEM equivalent parts, unless they're racing. In my opinion, you're basically throwing money down the drain.
I can say the same thing with Fram oil filters.
I've been using Fram since I started working on cars as a teenager in 1978. I've never had an oil-related problem with any of my engines.
The key is that I've always changed the oil and filter religiously to factory maintenance specs. Currently, I change the synthetic oil and Fram Ultra Synthetic filters every 50,000 km (30,000 mi.) or 4 months (I know I could stretch that further, but I don't).
@@blizzy6392 fuel oil pressure gauge on any of your vehicles you would have stopped using frams! Try a delco, using the same brand and viscosity oil try the Fram. They are garbage!
Do yourself a favor and buy a Hastings or a Baldwin.
Check out the new video czcams.com/video/Qf2tGF63Gz8/video.html
I'd never let a vehicle I own go 20k on the oil or filter. I tend to use the vehicle manufacturers filter on my vehicles.
If you do best to use a whole quart of marvel, mystery, oil and run 500 to 1000 miles also swap out all filter with cheap new filter. Will grab more dirt and sludge.🤙✅
I always used what the manufacturer ordered or replacement.Thank you great video till then keep smiling with lol politely and healthy safely thumbs up.
The one-inch nut on the K&N is really handy for vehicles that have the filter in a hellacious place - which is many modern vehicles.
This a good video!!! I’d like to see a review of oem/nos oil filters. I have a Nissan Frontier, I use their brand from the dealer. I’d love to hear your input on such items.
Their very similar to fram extra guard filters. I run Nissan filters on both my Nissans.
Thanks for this info!
Well I have used Fram orange can of death. Many times no problems but change it at 3-4k miles.
Actually some of thenOEM Honda filters I read somewhere are made by Fram but are the tough guard ones.
Correct. Some factory branded OEM oil filters are made by Fram under contract. Incidentally, GM oil filter manufacturing company doesn't exist, so AC Delco filters are contracted by GM to another company to make for them. Just like GM Oil Bottling company doesn't exist...contracted out to another company to make for them. Same with Ford/Motorcraft filters and oil, and Mopar/Chrysler filters. All under contract to another company.
2016 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Fram Ultra Synthetic XG10060 with Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic 5w20 for 3 years. Clean oil. Good pressure. No leaks. No engine noise. Now at 105k miles. All good.
Get rid of it now, you are on borrowed tim when a Ram gets over 20,000 miles!!!
Own a 2018 with 123,00 no problem here . use a srt filter for hemi or mopars filter
Have you flipped Oil Filter upside down ever and allowed it to drain for 2 to 3 days and then went back and picked it up you can fill all the weight of sludge🤙 I have been using K&N GoldFilter and when I change it, I let it drain 2 to 3 days, and I can feel that it weighs more than a pound with sludge changed it every 5000-6000 miles . Also use Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic 5W 30. Awesome oil stays clean. 🤙
I use ONLY XG version of Fram oil filter (ultra synthetic) in all my vehicles, starting from sensitive 2021 Japanese engines down to 1990 old chevy truck, never let me down, easy to take off because of the rubberized grip and works very well. Good in my book...
I only use Fram Ultra in my vehicles 👍🏾

I always supply the Motorcraft filter to anyone changing the oil on my Ford Transit Connect.
Is it possible for you to measure the length and weight of each paper filter you tested? Thank you for the excellent video.
The biggest problem these days is NOT with the engine oil filters, but with frequency of oil/ filter changes! Change your engine oil and filter every 5,000 km or 6 months whichever comes first and you will preserve your engine from expensive repairs.
I change the oil when i don't like the color. I have 230,000 miles on my Civic.
@@ltcajh The change of motor oil colour in your engine happens within 1000 miles of driving and so that alone is not a good indicator. If you change your oil every 1000 miles that would be overkill. I would stick with an oil change recommended in your specific vehicle maintenance manual.
@@mauriceharting5877 I'm 62. It's worked for me since 1976.

Even with the price hikes of the last couple years, my OEM filters (Mann) are only about $6, if I buy 3 or more at once. Singles can be had at I think Advance for around $10, in a pinch, and $11 at the dealership. They're still made in Germany, too. Aftermarket brands need to show some extraordinary evidence, IMO, to be worth considering, over OEM.

Champion and mopar go hand in hand!
The only thing about crushing an empty filter housing, is that the forces generated on the filter when it's on an engine are not from the outside in, they are from the inside out. So it's inside pushing outwards on the filter housing. Also, with the end caps on, as they would be on a vehicle, none of the filters would be able to be crushed this way by hand.

Been using the Fram tough Guard on my 1991 Honda CRX which I bought in 2005 when it had 165K miles, recently hit 321K miles....and no problems. I do change the oil religiously every 2K miles, and use conventional motor oil......
You covered just about everything that makes up an oil filter except the important parts. You need to talk about what media is being used and how many pleats are in the media. Oh and by the way weren’t there any hold down springs inside those filters when you took them apart?
Thanks for this video, very informative. Do you have a video for motorcraft oil filters? Earlier this year I bought my first brand new F150. The dealership did the first oil change and since they use motorcraft oil and filter I decided to do the same when I did the second oil change. My last F150 I bought pre-owned and used mostly Fram oil filters, but since I've seen several videos of inside of Fram filters I stopped using them. Thanks again!
Motorcraft is what I use!

My dad owns 2010 Escalade that burns oil like crazy . We are planning to do the update upgrade to lower the oil consumption soon but something that we learn is better to buy 10k oil filter does keep the oil but cleaner long run and I also buy the 10k filter for my Camry and I usually change the oil every 5-6k
You should try putting a double Oil catch can. You would see a significant difference in Oil Consumption, Performance & Mpg. Since I installed one on my V8 Truck it traps a whole lot of oil that would’ve went down the intake I took off the throttlebody, and it looks a lot cleaner. 🤙😎✅
Which one does the best job of filtering dirt?
Acdelco and K&N been using this for the last 12 years and zero issues.
KN are great.
Do some Baldwin filter tear downs! They also have a great website to cross reference filters.
I have just ordered a Baldwin oil filter
I’ve got a 19 Subaru STi but I use a Mazda (N3R1-14-302) oil filter over the suggested Subaru (15208AA12A) Would absolutely love to see it’s internals. The Mazda oil filters are made in Japan so I’d think it’s good quality.
Doing an oil flow test through the filters would be better than looking at them . use used motor oil for the test, then test oil for particulates in oil after test on each filter.
Good video. I heard Fram was ???. Yet I'm running them. 3,ooo mile changes. 10/30 conventional oil. ( $600 scrap yard '89 rebuilt 350 in '87 Suburban. NO oil burn or leaks 5 yrs now.) I love my Black Bomber, and I'm going AC Delco (or KN) next change. I use Conven oil because it burns. No smoke, no problem. Western Ma.,USA, Feb 2, 2021
Good vid. I use fram ultra on all of my reg gas vehicles.
I think the difference between the cheapest quality filters and the better or best is only a few dollars. I like to go with the Better one not necessarily the best. I change my oil before 5k so I feel well protected

Does anyone remember Hastings oil filters with densite filter medium? Back in the early 80s I worked at a parts store that had cutaways of Fram, AC Delco, one I can't rember and a Hastings. Only the Hastings had metal end caps, perforated inner tube vs wire, beefer anti drain back valve, more inlet holes and a filter medium that was held in place by perforated tube on the outside. Never had a failure with one even in over pressure situations due to racing applications with pump relief pressure set higher.

Changing your oil regularly is much more important than just the filter. Kinda like controlling your obesity to avoid costly medical bills down the road.😁
Agreed. I owned two Dodge Caravans that I drove to near 300k each on 3500 mile oil changes using the basic Fram oil filters. I now have a Malibu with just over 200k and the same schedule using basic Fram oil filters.
Hey Dan you can’t say that it’s 2021 don’t you know fat people are beautiful now 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Yeah.. I had a Pontiac Grande Prix that I used mid level Fram filters in up to about 225,000 miles, didn't leak or burn anything, and then I broke the engine, totally my fault. ... The Mechanic that replaced it took it partially apart and said to me "your gonna cry when you see how clean the inside of your engine is"
@@groovymoon How did you break it?
@Jon Mo put cold.water in a hot block.
That so called cardboard isn't really cardboard. It does look bad, but it will do the job. Personally, if I use a Fram filter I use either an Ultra or Endurance. For the small amount of money difference between a low-cost filter and a higher quality one, I say go with a better filter. Mobil One, Purolator pure one or Boss, or whatever, why not just get a high-quality filter. Just my 2 cents {after inflation just isn't worth much anymore}. Another great video Nate.
I'm an AC-Delco filter fanboi --- but I wondered about the K&N as I have a very low opinion about their forever air filters.
Then again --- I question if the STP filters are any good? Can you check them out too?

If you do a comparison of oil filters that are a cartridge filter by Super Tech, AC Delco and Fram base filters are the same.
The Fram Extra Guard filter media is meant to trap particles at 20 microns or greater. Baldwin is 10 microns. Wix, Mobil 1 and Napa say they are 25 microns. Lots of them are 40 microns. The microns that get past the filter are what damages your engine. According to experts, at 10 microns of filtering, your engine can go 400k miles. At 45 microns, your engine can go 150k miles. All this filtering stops when your filter is full and it goes on bypass. The best choice of filter is one that provides a good balance. If you change your oil every 3k miles, the Fram does ok. I like Baldwin at 7k using a good oil. Some engines are dirtier too. New Honda's oil looks like baby oil at 15k miles. My Ram truck looks black at 7k.
Micron is a measurement, not a particle that can damage your engine.
I really like your videos, but your voice over does not match your video sometimes ,,like when you are talking about the K N filter and holding the AC Delco, I am not posting this to piss you off I love your videos ,,just hope you could get your voice over to sync better. Thanks again for the cool info and I also gave you a thumbs up and just subscribed :)
It's about the holes on top for returning to engine did you see the difference?
Great series! Would be interested to see Ecoguard filters taken apart. These are used almost exclusively at a regional 5 min oil change chain in the southwest
I have been using it for 10 years the K&N Gold Filter And Air Filter with stock, cold intake, manifold, modified with one pair of panty hose over the filter. I’ve seen it work with the debris. It leaves inside air, filter, closed compartment. Also using K&N Cabin Filter. 😎🤙✅
Which filter would be the oil filter overall?
Fram XG (Ultra Synthetic) are great filters. Used them for 10+ years on many vehicles. The orange can, basic one is trash though, best used as a paperweight.
How can we do our own research?? What isuggested for a 2016 Letsuck RX350 emergencyehicle - used for emergentransport of blood and medical items any time, 24-hours. Mobile 0W-20 full synthetic used.
Have been using Fram Tough Guard cartridge filters. The Super Tech filter looks very similar but seems to have a slightly less length filter. Thank you.
I use the K&N. It's more money, but it's worth it.
I feel that it grabs more dirt and sledge. I’ve let it drain for 2 to 3 days and it’s a lot heavier than a new filter must try mine blowing. Great products 🤙😎✅
I've opened up many filters after they've been used and found that the filtering material gets cut play the rough surface around the holes in the metal tube in the middle of the filter
i've been using frame since 1997 when I bought my first car, and did my own oil changes, I had no issues with them. I changed the oil so frequently and on-schedule that when I sold it back to the dealership, the mechanic said the engine basically looked unused, and he said that I should ask for more money. I told him no because I wanted to get rid of the Honda Civic. It was very strange since he worked for the dealership.
There is no issue with Fram using cardboard on it's econo filter. Only a High Performance engine would need to worry about collapse. Nobody with 400+ HP should use it but very fine for an econo daily driver using conventional oil.
Are the silicone valve oil stoppers and anti-siez grommets with adhesive backing worth the extra cost?
The silicone oil filter anti drainback valve is for sure superior compared to the rubber oil filter anti drawback valve.
How about doing a filter from super tech Walmart? Is it made by the same manufacturer as ac delco or k&n thanks
Those end caps are not card board there synthetic fiber fram also makes many of the oe oil filters for many companies as long as you don’t go over 5 k on the orange fram filter and high mileage filter you’ll be fine they make it pretty obvious on the box where it says up to 5 k if fram oil filters destroyed engines they would have a huge law suit on their hands and retailers like Walmart wouldn’t be selling them
A good test would to be is too chill the oil down to -5 degrees and flow the oil through the oil filter and into the a container and time how long the oil fills the container.
If you use Amsoil, even they tell you to atleast change your filter and top off with fresh oil to bring it to full.
The Fram Ultra synthetic filter is a beast. It's a quality filter.
U r correct
I've used Super Tech oil filter for years and they do as well as most of the other filters for a lot less money! I won't however run a Fram filter.
Be VERY careful with the K&N. I had one on my Honda motorcycle and it somehow managed to block oil flow. At the time, I was at the Laconia Bike Week in NH. Ended up with no oil in the bike. Walked over 10 miles in MC gear to a NAPA to get new oil and I got a new filer too (glad I did) Sadly, I did not save the bad filter, but in doing research after, discovered that many tracks don't allow ANY aftermarket filters anymore because they had K&N filters do the same thing on the track leading to oil slicks.
Seems the filters made in Thailand were OK, but there were some made in China which were sub standard.
Now, The issues are supposed to have been fixed, but my leisure time is not worth this kind of hassle. I've switched to Purolator Boss and never looked back.
Curious to see the inside of a Napa Gold vs Wix...
K & N had a big recall a year or 2 ago for can splitting open... not fun esp when your driving an instantly oiled back tire on a motorcycle
Which one do you think is the best? and which one do you recommend
He doesn't know EITHER
Well balanced explanation, pastor "material" !
We ran Fram on the farm and never lost a motor. I heard enough crap about them I stopped. Oil filters are important but there are other things that affect engine life.
Yeah , main thing is not being Mario Andretti, unless for an emergency.

K&N Gold, I feel that it grabs more dirt and sledge. I’ve let it drain for 2 to 3 days and it’s a lot heavier than a new filter must try mine blowing. Great products 🤙😎✅
