- Can't Believe What I Found Inside This FRAM OIL FILTER!!
In this video I cut open two of Fram's oil filters to see what the difference is. The first filter, the Fram Tough Guard, cost less than $4 and the second, Fram Ultra Synthetic, just under $9. I have to say, I was surprised at what I found inside.
That Fram Ultra Synthetic seems to be, to me, just as good as any others including WIX or Mobil 1 or K&N...

Absolutely keep her in your videos…she keeps you from getting too serious.
I know! I felt that. 👍
@@1RoadGarage I also completely respect that she was gonna give it a go after that goofy fella on the right issued the challenge. I think she could do it.
love seeing the pretty wife participate. She's funny too.
Too much repetition. If you don’t have anything else to say then make the video shorter. Fram has been compared to other makes on other channels much more scientifically so for me this video was a waste of my time, not to mention that it came to a flawed conclusion which was not based on any empirical knowledge.
You should've weighted them and also unfold the filter material to compare effective filtering area
Having the wife there will drive more female viewers that want to learn how these things work. More male viewers as well, but for other reasons...
I Use The Fram Tough Guard The One In The Middle. It Works For Me . I've Been A Mechanic For 48 Years 33 Years In The Dealers Never Had A Problem. Your Wife is Adorable .i Thank You Both For This Video.
This was so good! Love it! The type of videos you two could do about auto stuff are endless. Tag teaming is always a great way to keep things fun and interesting.
Wow. Every other demonstration I've seen comparing fram to others, prove that fram is junk...but you think it's a good filter....laughable.
Stick with Wix or Napa Gold per pretty much every mechanic I have ever talked with about oil filters. Always used Wix on diesel farm tractors.
Wix is the best.

Wix are cheaply made, had poor results in testing I once read in a article for vehicles in Road & Track as well as Car Magazine (European issue)
@@Incountry don't believe everything you read. That's ridiculous
@@johnwagner4559
Sorry my friend, these are factual based, I didn’t do the testing, these companies are independent and are not sponsored by anyone, and as one of my siblings owns a couple of major dealership franchises Mahlë are the OEM manufacturers for them, and as any vehicle manufacturer knows their products in after sales should equal if not bette than the vehicle made...
No one uses Wix filters in aftermarket OE product sales or any reputable shop/garage would either, if they do then it’s for bottom line and profit margins...
Near every European vehicle manufacturer uses MANN/Mahlë as OEM, near all Asian market made vehicles use AISIN OEM filtering units, US follow suit on some products but many, AC Delco is probably best OEM in US, the rest I wouldn’t really consider.
Fram has went downhill in the last 10 years or so.
How so, they are reasonably priced and the ultra-synthetic model in particular seems very well built with quality filter media. Personally I would go Tough Guard or higher when buying Fram. I don't understand the bad rap they often get on the internet. I have used them for years without issue.
I saw a similar video years ago and they compared a few other brands as well. I have not used fram filters since. I have used stp, they where comparable in price and seemed better made. I use to use fram exclusively and was let down when I saw cardboard inside. All you are paying for is the name brand. I never had a problem with any filters in the past but I can’t trust cardboard.
I have found that up to +- 3000 miles paper filters, just filter better than some synthetic media filters. Past 3000 miles I would use the more expensive ones. Several tests I saw showed that paper media is more effective in filtering debris as also better in flow rate than other media. But.....change them frequently.
Should compare it to the ac delco you usually use.
His beloved ACDelco is made by champion labs who also happens to be the parent company of Fram. The ACDelco E-core filters have paper/cardboard end caps.
Great video, I think your wife should be in more videos. She does ask good questions that a lot of people might ask.
I stopped using Fram oil filters over 10 years ago. I replaced Fram with Wix, AC-Delco, Mobil 1 and sometimes Bosch. They’re(Fram)not the go to standard anymore, and haven’t been, for some time now.
I hope you know that AC Delco filters also use that style and so does Rolls-Royce and Honda. all it does is it seals in Media it doesn't reinforce anything that's what the center core is for. I wouldn't really use Bosch and m1 filters as they are actually known to be crappy and only filter to about 67% at 20 microns or 99% at 30 microns which is really pathetic because the cheapest Fram still does 95% at 20 microns and the silver and gold one do 99% at 20 microns. Your engine doesn't care what brand oil can is on it or what caps seal the media it cares about how clean the actual oil is when it gets pumped around into it. And no frams don't explode a failed oil pump pressure relief valve and hard use does. If I wanted to treat my engine well I would use an oil filter that gets 99% at 20 microns like the silver or gold fram. Why not get the ultra. Costs the same but is metal capped and has the best filtration out of all of them at 20 microns. Can't beat it. And they just released an updated version which is even better at the 5 and 10 micron efficiency so the new ones should be even better yet and they still weren't beat by the other off-the-shelf ones.
@@elihernandez330 Fram’s are made crappy, the last time I looked. I also use Napa Gold too when I can catch them on sale. I change my oil every 3,000 mi(4,800 km), rain 🌧 or shine ☀️ I use 100% synthetic. While down here in South America, I’ve been using MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W30. Can’t find any U.S.oil down here. Liquid Moly is supposed to be good too.
Reg. Me I have use WIX filters for years
@@idkwhoknew908 My engine swap guy recommended I start using Wix, when I put my built LS2 in my S10
@@regsmith7604 Wix/Fram/Napa AC all made by the same place. Fram has been and is the better all around filter on the market.
*No one:*
*Jimmy:* _"I have a tool that can cut the top off an oil filter!"_
Studies have shown that even under the worst conditions, in a normally operating engine, essentially no filter will be anywhere near capacity at 5K, and the vast majority of filters can go multiple times more than 10K miles. The data, which was done by a major OEM, is online, although I would have to dig it up. Other than wanting to drain as much oil as possible during an oil change, there is absolutely no point in changing oil filters at 5K. The end cap is also not structural and only serves to help glue the filter media together. Toyota, for example, doesn't even use an end cap.
you guys are adorable great video Jimmy
Dang Jimmy got him a legit model & actress. She's the Orbit gum girl.
Way to go Jimmy!
I used to always buy fram filters but there are so many better brands for less money. Napa gold is so much better quality.
NAPA gets their filters from WIX. 👍
Napa is no better. There all.good if changed as recommended.
The last time I bought a fram filter was about 10 years ago, and I stopped doing it because after removing it from my cars the element was punctured broken.
Yeah, I used to use Castrol 20-50, and FRAM orange oil filters. I've seen something on the internet. Stopped it right NOW: Now I only use Napa Gold, (they're made by WIX!). My oil is now Mobile One, and now instead of changing my oil (religiously) at 3000 mi. Now : 5000 mi.
In my oil changes, I've always used Castrol Edge 5w-30 paired with a Fram Ultra Synthetic Filter; and what a combo do they make. Castrol and Fram have greatly contributed to restore the Classic V8 Rumble (It rumbles like a Camaro) in the 4.6L Northstar V8 of my 2006 Cadillac DTS.
I watch a lot of oil used oil test and with different channels, different oils and test I Ve heard the host a few times say brand x oil did better with the synthetic fram.
I still wouldn't use Fram🤦♂️
Every oil filter has an efficiency vs micron particle size performance curve. The Fram efficiency rating is per ISO 4548-12, which has been a world wide industry standard to measure filter efficiency for the last 22 years. If an oil filter is rated at 99% @ 20 microns, it will still remove particles smaller than 20 microns, but at a lower efficiency, like for example 70% @ 15 microns, and 50% @ 10 microns.
I only use the Frame Ultra XG10060 filter in my Ram 5.7. 130k miles. Purrs. No issues. Good oil pressure and stays relatively clean.
Farris is so hot and you are a lucky man
I will stick with my WIX filter for the same price, $9.00 !!
Of course, you should include your beautiful wife in your videos as you both are such a great-looking couple. I look forward to seeing the videos about your Suburbans since I have two too! How about some videos about the headliners - I need to replace mine soon.
I use to use fram filters all the time until I have watched some you tubers cut them open and compare them side by side other brands. Fram does not even compare to wix which is also Napa brand. Cut some different brands open and you will see the length difference of that cardboard filter media. Wix and Napa have springs in the ends to let flow through in case of a clog. Fram is worst of worst, search for the video comparisons on TH-cam for yourself. You will see
We see your lovely and fun wife and instantly click the thumbs up!
Folks always pick on Fram. The thing is, if you change your oil when you're supposed to, the brand of filter becomes less of an issue. Most folks do not change the oil when they're supposed to. Some never change it, and then they have no idea why they experience issues at 50,000 miles. And some use low quality oil. Yes, the brand of oil makes a difference too! Ever take apart an engine, or remove valve covers and it looks like a cross between Jello and roofing tar in there... it's not supposed to. It has everything to do with oil change intervals.
I've used the cheap, orange Fram filters for more than 30 years. I've used other brands as well. And in 30 years, I've never had an engine fail because of oil issues.
Love this! So educational and I love seeing you both in videos. You both exude a calm and intelligent presence. Great info.
You should have your wife just do the video she's a lot better and funnier than you
I use STP filters, change oil 3000-5000 miles.
3-5k seems perfect
I want to know why there is such a thing as an oil filter opener.
My 5.7 vortec has always got a Delco or Purolator. But I've noticed, my engine doesn't have motor knock on cold starts with the ac Delco. I've heard good about wix. No fram!
Cardboard ends, stamped steel "spring"!!! Stay away from Fram. I used to use Fram, when I was young and dumb. After I changed my oil once I started car oil on dipstick would be dark. I always thought that was normal Cause you can't drain all the old oil out. But then I tried Purolator once and had clean oil that stays clean for long time. Downside, sometimes it's hard to read dipstick cause the oil is so clean. WHY RUN A FILTER IF IT DOESN'T FILTER. I asked a mechanic friend and he said in his race cars Purolator was the only ones that didn't blow out. I've never went back.
The gold one looks like a decent filter though.
Which Purolator do you use?
Filtering down to 20 microns is actually the norm of good filters even my fancy amsoil filters I use filter down to 20 microns you can't go really any lower otherwise you start messing with oil pressure and other tolerances in your engine that's why if you want to filter down to something like one micron you have to have a bypass filter installed. I wouldn't use fram anything if my life depended on it there's so many horror videos on TH-cam of how they're made I agree with other comments to use a higher quality filter like a wix or Napa Gold which is basically the same thing mobile one amsoil etc
Purolator BOSS: 20 microns, too.
my oil change light comes on faster with the cheap filter, so if walmart dont have mobil 1 I use the high end fram . I tend to not buy filters from part stores because of the price.
They’re getting expensive these days. I find Walmart seems to have pretty good prices.
Fram Ultra Synthetic filters are great.
Fram no longer uses metal backing on the ultra filter media.
Love to see Farris joining, it gives a good vibe from both, one end a very knowledgably presenting and Farris with good questions for all public wanting to learn. It makes it more entertaining like a podcast style video. Keep up the good work Jimmy & Farris
Sorry, I didn't hear anything you said.
Your wife is fun to watch and she gorgeous Hot
ORANGE FILTERS BAD!!! 😉
interesting to see Fram is offering a better quality filter after offering garbage for so many years. I will continue to play it safe and only continuing to use Wix.
i would never use the media with cardboard endcaps.
Running ultra synthetic fram it's great if I wasn't it would be the boss puralator
Friends don't let friends use Fram!
Purolator Boss 10/10 times
more Collab with ur wife...
She's cool and cute. More her 😁
This is a winning format. Funny wife ads a new dimension. Car reviews would be a great idea too!
I don’t want cardboard protecting me
Hey sweetie, I think You should do your own research, gather your own Info and test your viscosities on your oils. Maybe you can alter Hubbles choice on oil filters, just a tip from an old engineman. U.S.N. Jimmies were my specialty.
Lovely wife also funny
That ultra synthetic filter from Walmart for my car goes for 23.99.
Where u at? That's a lot for a filter
@@Andriig75 Yes, I know but it's what's posted as its price.
You guys are awesome ❤
Has fram always been junk? Or is it just people finally noticing, or what? Ive been very happy with wix xp only if it says made in USA though. Purolator boss is nice too. Then Baldwin is great as well. Fram is fine I guess, I just wouldnt go over 3,000 miles with the cheap one.
Now Farris doing Fram Filter commercials??!. 😂
Absolutely the🇺🇸 American dream.Learned a craft, work hard, got a beautiful wife and children.( Beautiful Ring there Girl!!!) God is Good!!! That Fram Ultra is one fine filter... Heck the cheapest Fram is what you get at the Quick Lube places, with a generic label... Keep Up the Great Work👌👏👍
You are awesome !
The XG2 ultra synthetic gold is double the price but has 20k miles while the cheap PH16 only has 10K miles
The best Fram filter XG2 filters down to 3 microns but only filters 20 microns at 99% efficiency, most brands only filter 30 Microns at 99% and only down to 8-10 microns at a low rate.
So anywhere in either of those filters did you see any surface rust?
There have been reports of brand new Fram filters straight off the shelf having surface rust inside. Sometimes you can see it on the bypass valve or on the top of the filter plate.
Fram has been considered garbage for a long time after we figured out they use cardboard for end plates. If you take apart a used Fram filter you'll see that sometimes that adhesive has failed and the endplate isn't attached anymore leaking unfiltered oil through into the clean side of the filter. They've known about it for a long time but don't want to change the design. Wix/Napa is now the go to with 21-23 micron at 99% efficiency rating for 32 grams of dirt. Their XP version is only 32-35 micron at 99% due to using synthetic media that will allow a longer oil change interval (you sacrifice some efficiency for a longer oci).
A lot of channels have oil filter reviews, we've seen the Wix being better quality over all. I'd like to see you do a side by side review/comparison next to the filters you just cut open.
Love seeing you guys do videos together! It makes your channel even better.
Agree
Amsoil !!!
They failed to cur off the ends of the filer media & measure the TOTAL MATERIAL IN THE FILTERS! I've seen a Fram stretched out next to a Wix, & there is 3 TIMES the total filter media in the Wix! What do I only use in my Ford 460-cid gasoline & 7.3L turbo-diesel engines? WIX, hands down, with either Valvoline 100% Synthetic, (Mobil 1 is labelled as coming from the same place), or (when I can get it) AmZoil 100% Synthetic; I use the factory are commended viscosities in the gas engine, while I just went with "winter-weight" AmZoil 5-w-40 for diesel engines in the 445-cid turbo-diesel; I did this because I studied up on what makes a "multi-vis" oil able to get thicker when it gets hotter, & learned that a "long-chain molecule" additive is added to the "base-weight" oil, so if the "long-chain additive" overheats & breaks down, a 5-w-40 becomes 5-w-5, but that was when I'd use 60-w gas engine oil in my Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine when it wasn't too hot, & start adding 70-w, 80, or even 90-weight oil in the hot summertime, since William Harley & the Davidson bros. were true geniuses at what they'd built, (and I knew some folks who could get me such "unusual" viscosity oils, "back in the day").
Now, the additives are much more stable, & my cooling systems are also very " overbuilt", so I've never needed to worry about my engine oil temperatures going much over 170-degrees F. (My transmission & engine-oil coolers are larger than most "big truck" radiators, just for "cheap insurance" against overheating. If you want it to really last, get it made in Canada, where they put enough zinc in the steel it CAN'T rust, & they're very good at making cars & trucks that last a very long time; I mean, look at the weather conditions they live with!
Still, it was the 1st half of a good presentation; it just needs to be a bit more thorough, IMHO, in the future. Good camera, lighting, & sound work, just to be fair & give credit!
(I change the oil & filter in either every 4-6 years whether they need it or not, & so far, they've NOT needed changing, based on an independent lab test of samples of the used oil & filters. The oils are measured using chemical analysis + particulate content as compared to new oils, & the filters using pressure-drop & particle-size compared to new filters.
(The "American Iron" gas V-8 engines normally hold 4 Qts in the engine + 1 more in the filter, while the turbo-diesel holds 13 qts in the engine + 2 Qts in the filter; the 445-cid turbo-diesel is NOT made by Ford; I DID find out who made them, but have long-since forgotten. That specific diesel engine is often referred to as "the GOOD one", just FYI.)
I am not a "professional" driver or mechanic, although I've found that I know more about the "SuperFinish-Era" engines than most "Pros", because I "did my homework" back in the day.
Anyone besides me remember Harry Ricardo, now "Sir Harry"?
(He was given the honorary knighthood for his substantial contributions to the knowledge of what's happening inside a reciprocating piston engine), back before the Dodge brothers invented the 1st "overhead-valve" engine; no pushrods or rockers, the valves had VERY long stems, but it really cleaned up the exhaust + made the engines more efficient!)
Take the Fram oil filter and throw them in the garbage Can…NOW if you value your engine. Fram is too inconsistent in quality.
Use only Wix Mobil 1 ,royal purple,amzoil,Bosch,or,kN oil filters on you tube tons of cut open video
My 1993 Chevy 3500 with a 350 engine runs the best on the Mobil 1 filter with Mobil 1 10 30 oil
Great info.. You are right to change oil early. My oil filter is guaranteed for 20,000 miles and the FULL synthetic oil is guaranteed for 16,000 and I change at about oil and filter at about 12,000 miles. Nothing is gauranteed so i change a bit early. (both Castrol)
ahahahha, you're wifey, she's a cutie,,, but seems like a "troublemaker",,,, trying to cut open the cheap fram.... ahahha, like a little kid.... just "curious"!
How about you use the BETTER filter on a car you want to LAST longer, not necessarily a "truck". I'm just using a motorcraft on my 2003 f-150 right now. Wow, it's a truck, I guess I'd better buy a orange can of death! lol And I've never changed ONLY the filter.
Go OE or Mahlë.... (albeit Mahlë/MANN are manufacturers for majority of OEM)
Hello to Ms Farris, and no, he didn't introduce you as "wife" in the opener. I b et many like me figgered you were his daughter. Anyway, I'm still not a Fram fan since a bad experience way back there. Now I only use AC filters, and the longer ones of them. I dislike the little 3" long things that claim to be as good as the longer ones.
Towing with your '95, I have the '95 P/U, same trans & gears. I *often* pull a 21' Travel trailer from S.Tx to. NM & AZ. The height gets me with wind resistance since I'm not heavy (3800#) so I always tow in 3rd keep the RPM at 2500, gives 59-60 mph, average mpg is only 10. But I've got my home away from home with me, so no motel bills, and we usually stay out a couple of months at a time.
Sure wish you'd settled in Texas, but Tn has to be so much better than Ca. Good luck to you two, and let the wife continue to brighten up the channel.
I have always used fram, never had engine problems. My 99 Silverado has 373,000. My 93 had 220,000 when I sold it.
Fram filters are top quality for the dollars. I hate those knuckle scrapers laughing at the "Paper" end caps on their tailgate. Hey - the media is paper, why not the caps. Duh.
5000 miles is a BS money maker. Why does my Cummins Diesel manf. recommend 15,000 miles, it is a much dirtier running engine and harder on oil than gas. My oil analysis report stated convential oil lube properties were still good @ 15K, just dirty with low acids. Started replacing filter @ 10K and changing at 20K. Had oil checked again,Lube properties still good, same dirt and slighty higher acids.
More videos and yes, have the wife on more often.
I will use the frame orange canned just if I was doing a motor flush or if I changed my oil every 2000 or 2500 miles I never like those filters, I’ll drive a Honda and I stop using OEM on the filters because they built the same way cardboard
End caps I don’t trust them. I use the new Fram ultra behind the filter is a metal mesh screen also it’s a great filter
Car Care Nut Channel, He was a Toyota Mechanic for over 10 years. Now runs his own shop now. He says. The manufactures get their oil filter made specifictly for each vehicle to Toyota specs. The after market expensive filter may restrict the pressure the oil pump is designed to pump at , or the cheaper filter may not restrict enough to allow the engine to run at the pressure it is design to run at. To bad filter companies do not put a bypass indicator on the filter. So you would know if 3,000, or 5,000 miles is soon enough to change the oil.
Re: micron levels....Filter media testing talks about efficiencies at various micron levels, i.e. for material of a certain size (micron), what percentage of that material will get trapped vs not. So, when they claim to be good to a certain micron level, if they don't tell you what efficiency percentage (100% means it catches all at that size), it's kinda bunk. To put it another way, a screen door is a "20 micron" filter; it's just not efficient at it. Also, if the two figures aren't derived using the same testing methods (SAE has a few industry standard tests that are most common), you can't really compare figures.
The blue oem honda filter A02, is just a cheap made by fram filter. Im sure fram makes filters for other companies too. Also your wife is beautiful. Youre a lucky man.
Ps... Just ordered an ultra for my toy. Had an orange can come apart on an old hunting rig years ago. Molasses oil. Can not remember if I gave it a motor flush because of the thick black strap. Did the filter get bounced apart, or did the flush dissolve the paper like ends. The black oil at 3000 miles tells me the orange cans are inferior quality.
Fram has been making junk for the last 15 some years. I can't believe I used to purchase them.
As the man said, oil is cheap engines are expensive. Spend the extra $4 bucks and NEVER trust the idiots who tell you to go 10,000 miles on oil changes. I wholeheartedly agree 5,000 mile changes.
Just bought a filter for my vehicle at Walmart. All they have listed and available for my vehicle now is Fram. I use to use the Walmart super tech brand, but it appears they have reduced the filter options for those. So bought a cheap 4 dollar Fram. Searched it online and I guy posted on a forum with pictures of how amazed the filter did with a whole year of use. Actually has metal end caps although it's a cheap orange Fram. Makes me feel a bit more trusting of the filter I bought for my vehicle
Or just don't buy Fram. I used to work at an autoparts store and some people would come in and ask for Fram filters but actually left without buying any other brand if we were out of Fram. I just couldn't convince them that Fram is actually the lowest quality 🤷♂️ Brand loyalty is fine I guess but that doesn't mean Fram is made with better material. Our house brand was better and sometimes less expensive
Yes sir. Fram I guess are good. Yeah she has a nice friendly pressants. And I bet she learned something. And had good ideas to. I’m not picking but more women need to know this stuff as our kids to anyone who drives. So they don’t get ripped off when going to bad garage. Seems to be a lot popping up. Not all. And yes garage work is expensive. They have people to pay electric bills water. Yeah there high but good garage is definitely worth it. Go do it yourself see what just few of them special tools u might need cost. 😉 there not cheap. Anyway I’m rambling so another great video keep them rolling and stay safe from ur hillbilly buddy.
I used the cheap Fram for years back in the day when i usta change oil and filter every 3000 they worked fine. I wouldn't want to use them any longer than that. I now go 5000 miles between oil changes and use the ultra synthetic as engines burn cleaner now with fuel injection vs carbs. A few more dollars for the best is a drop in the bucket when you are talking about auto expense ; )
If you turn the letters around on 'Fram', it says 'farm'.. What farm does the Ultra Synthetic grow on, because I would like to pick it from the plant, then install it on all my vehicles? I'm in dire straits.
its as easy as this. use a cheap but respectable brand of filters, change oil and filters regularly and often( 5000miles max) and at a minimum once a year. if you do this both your wallet and engine will thank you. oil and filters is cheap.. new engines is not! its idiotic to run these longlife intervalls.. great videos as alwasy dude! :D
get the top 10 diff brands out there and cut em' open, you will see a major diff in the guts, THEN you can make your buying choice, it will be a lot easier trust me..... btw it won't be fram
I bought it when it was announced that honda was developing a new filter with fram. So fram supplies honda with filters. And the ultra synthetic is created. Used to always get mobile1 filters, but now, i only buy fram full synthetic. And the anti drain back keeps the oil in the motor instead of back in the oil pan, so when you start the car, the oil is still in everything.
In motor work I have been greatly disappointed in todays fram filters breaking apart and stopping up cam sensors and absolutely ruining them the cardboard was breaking down and coming apart. It would come through the filter heading for the head parts where the sensors are completely stopping them up for failure this was after a couple thousand miles after oil change. Never been so disappointed in fram filters.
I, only use Wix oil filters… until I see ANY REASON to change brands, I’m here to stay.. only the best for me..®
Yes change your oil every 10.000 miles This is coming from the same people that tell you transmission fluid last the life time of your car Only thing is that the life time to them is as long as it is under warranty And the same people that tell you that 0w20 oil will also lubricate and protect your vehicle When everyone knows they use light oil just to get the MPG 1% higher on there fleet for the government . Its all about planned obsolescence
The material of media in the filter is where the difference is synthetic media take a much longer time to breakdown they're probably both 20 micron media filters with 13lb bypass valves
I will never use Fram anymore, they don't have as much filter media as others. I will only use A Wix or a Napa Gold which is made by Wix. Do the same test between a Wix filter and a Fram and you will see the difference in components and unravel the filter media and see the difference .
I always use supertech oil filter with supertech synthetic engine oil for 30$ and changed every 10k. Super cheap 😁
Your wife is very, very charming and obviously very bright..you hold on to her fella..
Miss those two faces!!!! Now I finally understand what an oil filter goes through….thanks y’all
