I only inverse my oil and now "later the fact" am wondering what the collective mass hither deems "The all-time oil filter" to use is. Many accept said Fram is no practiced, why? I went with a regular Mopar filter this time for my 440. shruggy

Wix. I'll let them tell their story. http://world wide web.wixfilters.com/productinformation/index.html

Every visitor can say anything, and merits everything. Well for my Hemi it is Wix that delivers and only Wix that I'll use. Lots of tests out there back it up. Twocents

So check out Bob Is The Oil Guy. Information technology is packed full of data.

wix, mobil 1, or K&North, best three out in that location ( IMO ).  wix has a huge multifariousness of filters that y'all can apply for your mope.. there is ane that you can screw into your oil pump and can agree up to 1 3/4 qts of oil merely in the filter hehe... I got the role number somewhere.  of course, dont even worry about getting it if you take power steering.

then to be on the safe side, I'm sticking with the one that says wix on it or napa gold.

Thanks for all the answer's! Is anyone opening these things up and looking inside? (I saved the ane from my 1st oil change after the re build but oasis't figured a proficient way to open it up?)

You need a dedicated filter cutter, anything else will leave shavings that might be mistaken for engine textile.

BTW, an oil filter discussion without a link to the "oil filter study". How refreshing.

Do you refer to this one? http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfilterstudy/oilfilterstudy.html

Their conclusion: "It should be clear that Mopar filters are really nil special. Unless you are trying to accept a perfect restoration and need that Mopar logo, there is no reason why you should be buying Mopar oil filters."

anything else will exit shavings that might exist mistaken for engine cloth.

I've merely opened a filter twice, and then using eyesight and magnets, found no metal droppings. So I thought a hacksaw was ok as a inexpensive and quick method.

Cheers for the info on the defended cutter. yesnod

i have opened upwards a wix, a bosch, a fram, mobil 1 and the o'reilly house (microguard) and compared the internals.  conclusion.. if using only qualitative data from eyesight, you will encounter that the wix, mobil one, bosch and microguard all have a metal internal support construction that will keep the filter chemical element encased so as to not get sucked up into the oil pump if there is filter element failure.

fram, on the other paw, has a tiptop and bottom papyrus/cardboard style upper and lower back up circles that are glued/epoxied to the filtration element.  it is this glue that people have witnessed or heard of failing and causing the element to then travel into the oiling organisation and plug up galley'south and oil pumps.

now, in regards to filtration and catamenia capabilities, cut one open wont tell you jack.  stick to the study for that data.

The problem with "the study" is that it doesn't comprise any filtration/flow data, an eyeball evaluation is worthless.

The trouble with "the written report" is that it doesn't comprise any filtration/period data, an eyeball evaluation is worthless.

John, do you accept info on whatever studies/reports on filtration and catamenia? scratchchin

And do you take an opinion on filters? scratchchin

'Cause we are all "blind men in a dark room" looking for a filter. And Fram advertises it's the greatest e'er. So we are left only with a consensus of experience from those posting here. What are we to practice?

eyeball evaluations in regards to the conclusion of the overall capabilities of a filter are in the eye of the beholder, BUT, if you look at the filter's support structure of the chemical element, an eyeball view can determine, based upon ones own opinion (considering this is all that there is) if you want ane filter over another.

and then, eyeballing the internals of a filter can provide a reasonable sense of insurance in regards to how well a filter is made, considering they are all Not equal in that regard.

flow, pressure ratings on bypass valves, surface surface area of filter element, and filtration capabilities can all be obtained from the manufacturer.

Here'southward the simple facts, that "oil filter study" has made everybody paranoid nearly using Fram filters even though there are millions of satisfied users that take never had a filter-related failure. The cheap internal construction that is made such a big deal in all of the eyeball studies has nothing to exercise with the filter'due south power to filter oil. On every used Fram that I take cutting open the cardboard back up ring is still there keeping the element centered.

One time a product gets a bad rap, all you will hear from then on are the negative experiences and the cycle repeats.

When it comes to oil and filters I ordinarily only buy what'south on sale and take never had a filter of any brand fail in 50+ years of driving/maintaining motor vehicles.

moparguy01 had a fram filter chemical element get sucked up into his engine considering the cardboard support failed. i cut upwardly all these filters dorsum in 2001 before i even knew this written report existed and saw the differences between the filters. by simple deductive reasoning (and common sense) I ended that I would rather have a wix in identify of a fram any day.  the study didnt make me paranoid, my experience with these filters and moparguy01's feel did.

i approximate, yous should all ask yourself this:

is it worth information technology when running your engine with something that has a greater possibility of failure in comparison to others?  if the filter chemical element became detached from a wix, mobil one, or any other with a metal infrastructure, would the filter element get sucked up into the oil pump?  My reply is NO to both questions.

y'all pay for insurance for your car, your house, your boat... why not pay a lil actress insurance to make sure y'all are not a victim of something, that in nearly cases, $ii extra would alleviate?
