- 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
FRAM has never failed me in 25 years, but I do look them over before purchase,
they engine wreckers when chinavirus took over ok.
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.
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
I have used fram filters and Pennzoil on all my cars and they have gone 500,000, 600,000 miles apiece,
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 TH-cam 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've used Fram oil filters since the 1970's and never had a problem ever on my engines
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 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!🤷
This dudes videos have more drama and anticipation than most movies
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
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.
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.
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.)

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...
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
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.
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.
Champion Laboratories is one of the largest private label filter manufacturers in the world with global distribution for our customer and partners.
Champion and mopar go hand in hand!
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.
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.
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 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 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.

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.
The walmart super tech brand was a great filter for a great price. My walmart stopped selling them
I been using fram oil filters all my life and never had any problem so I will keep using this great product
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
Do,s it really flipping matter !!!!!!! I been using Acdelco for many years and no issues and I’ll keep on using them
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.
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?
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.

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.
I NEVER seen you do a STP filter!! I can only buy 2 types over the counter for my bike, STP & K&N. The k&n cost almost 3Xs as much too.🤦
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.
It's STP for me. No problems all make. All models over 40 years.

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.
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.
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. 🤙😎✅
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

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.

No....only side mounted applications use the anti drain feature...
I use wix, napa gold or oem. Never fram.
Napa gold is wix, and one of the best brands of oil filter made. Fram is the worst
Cardboard does not belong in an engine, period. I’ve used factory filters with hard nylon end caps with zero issues. But I will never put cardboard in any engine. I guess the Fram diehards r just cheap bastards. Lol
The title does not say which filter to avoid I watched the entire video.
I'm glad I only read the comments, ACDELCO & Fram tops my expectations
I was looking for the answer to the title also. I have to assume it was the Fram with the cardboard ends. Btw, some Subaru oil filters are supposedly made by Fram, and they also have cardboard ends. I use better ones.
If you want to compare these filters, you should check the used oil and see how much each of these filters could really do the job...not just by their look...I have tried almost every single filter on the market on my turbo engine with mobile 1 full syn oil for the last 14 yrs, and sent used oil to the lab to check for each of the filters at 5k miles used...results came back to show fram ultra was one of the best filter for my engine, but not much different between these filter. I have used fram ultra for the last 14 yrs on the same engine! Just change oil + filter regularly between 3k or 5k mikes, if you have few extra dollars the buy decent filter, if not just buy any filter, most import thing is changing oil+filter every 3k miles (regular oil) or 5k miles (full syn oil)...I dont trust the 10k miles or 20k miles oil changes...save $30 for oil change, then spend $$5k for new engine, it doesn’t work for me.
30$ oil changes...
Either you have a scooter or the post is 10 years old when inflation hasn't doubled or more :P
I do mobile 1 everything, but often out of filters.. Used k&n .. No idea on performance, but their design has much better functionality.. And a designed for a socket to unscrew, great, can use torque wrench to specs
I knew a Mobil Petrochemical Engnineer who was on the team that invented Mobil 1. He asked me to help make sure that his Mercedes 300D car, owned by Mobil for product testing's injection pump was properly timed. With the cylinder head removed, his engine had over 300k miles, but looked as if it had a few thousand miles. A Diesel with a few thousand mile's oil looked like tar. I asked him how was it possible?
He explained that synthetic oil molecules are so perfectly spherical they are not affected by temperature, and that they could last over 25k miles. He recommended replacing the filter at the recommended service interval and topping it off with Mobil 1, but that there was no need to replace the oil before then. He added that he had had that car since new.
So, I saw the proof and heard the advice of an Engineer. I do not agree with the 3-5k oil change when using synthetics. What should be done is to replace the filter more often, but not necessarily the oil. I am with Roy the Engineer.

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.

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.

If you clog any filter it will implode. change your oil on time and even a Basic Fram is OK
Says a guy with no pressure gauge!
If they plug up the bypass valve opens up which still allows flow of oil but no more filtering capacity.
The bypass valve prevents imploding or exploding. If pressure builds because of plugged filter media the bypass opens to continue circulation.
Get the filters with the bypass at the thread end not the closed end of the filter then if it bypasses it wont be still going over the dirty filter media. Just another tip.

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.
The best filters are WIX or Fleetguard.
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.
If you use Amsoil, even they tell you to atleast change your filter and top off with fresh oil to bring it to full.
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 :)
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

The Fram Ultra synthetic filter is a beast. It's a quality filter.
U r correct
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 🤙😎✅
Stop confusing people. I’ve changed the oil on more vehicles than you can shake a stick. A oil filter ..is a oil filter . Keeping your oil maintenance is key 🔑.
Champion labs makes ac delco, k&n and mobil 1 filters.....and champion labs has been bought out by Trico group who also owns fram. Good luck.
@alexanderkennedy2969 they aren't all quite the same some are ecore with the plastic center cage and others are metal but some have the same characteristics and the filter media ratings can differ. But they are all owned by the same company
Is it possible for you to measure the length and weight of each paper filter you tested? Thank you for the excellent video.
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.
Here again, the takeaway of this is the importance of changing oil and filter every 4,000 miles
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.
Use WIX found to be best
I guess the acdelco would be the one. 👍
If you ever order parts from rock auto, you can get name brand filters for a few bucks.
Good vid. I use fram ultra on all of my reg gas vehicles.
I can't believe you actually found a Walmart tablet that works
Maybe people living in that community dunno how to use it.
lately I've been going with Wix ....
I use a Toyota filter from Toyota stealership. $5.
300,000 miles on a 21 year old Tundra.
Every 4,000 miles. Purrs like a kitten. Comes pre-greased and sealed out of the box.
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?
Yes sir Toyota Corolla 2020 model right now I'm getting free oil change I'm on my last one and then I will be at the parts store please give me your best opinion on what filter and oil thanks in advance very very much appreciated!!
Toyota always go OEM and replace the plastic filter housing with an aluminum one.
Go with Toyota OEM oil filter/Toyota oil. Option 2:Toyota uses Castrol full synthetic motor oil so can you with Toyota OEM oil filter.
They all by pass some oil at times. How good is the filter then. Change oil regularly is the best thing you can do with good.
There is an oil bypass valve to keep oil flowing to the engine in the event of severe clogging of the filter, it's designed that way on purpose to save your engine under a worst-case scenario.
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.
NEVER EVER HAD AN ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO AN OIL FILTER,,, AND I USE Fram and run vehicles 300,000 plus miles...Dr
