Fram Filters - What's The Deal?

[terrible one]

I've heard lots of negative comments about Fram filters around here, as well as other places. Being a young'un, I don't have much experience with different parts, etc, but I was just wondering what is so bad about them?

I´ve heard many times these are crap.

I cant believe they're not being sued for engine damage to multiple cars

Junk do NOT use them

There was a time when Fram was supposed to be the best. When did that change and how?

[Chryco Psycho]

when they reduced the cost of manufacturing

Yeah, I think in the late 60's/early 70's they may have been a decent product...although I haven't seen one from that era cut apart.
After they sold the company 2 or 3 times, the quality went into the toilet. Honestly, I'm amazed they've been able to keep the name alive this long.
It's all due to the power of advertising vs. the gullible masses.

chinese are probably making those filters

Guess its a K&N oil filter next time.

Wix mkes a very good oil filter as does Amsoil and Mobil1.

[dkn1997]

ok, so I just put a fram on my charger, but a mobile 1 on the Tahoe.   I got scared and went out and the only other filter I could find for a 440 was a valvoline brand, is that any good?

Well now I have the facts to back up my not liking Fram filters! 

I don't ever use them, and have always heard bad news about them, but never knew exactly what it was. Now I know, and definitely agree that they are crap!
