With today's high quality regular oil, unless you have some crappy sludge producing import engine, every 6mo/6000 miles is all you need. Our fleet of thousands of cars and trucks ( 90% + domestic) get 6/6000 and it's works just fine. We have many vehicles run up to 250K miles on that interval and are still running when auctioned. My area has a couple dozen vehicles and the last time we had an engine failure was on a 70 Plymouth years and years ago. That's not to say in the entire fleet we don't sometimes have a problem, but it's much more likely to be a blown head gasket then anything else.

This business of getting on usenet and slamming Fram filters for no good reason has been going on for way way too long. There is no reliable data or evidence to support these slams but the perpetrators think they can gang up and bully everybody else into agreeing with them. >and "Jim" certainly seems > every bit as pleasant to interact with as "Mike" and as immune to facts > that don't fit with his preconceived worldview. I don't have an opinionated world view. Your the one promoting opinionated superstitious beliefs. My personal belief is that the difference between one filter brand and another doesn't amount to hill of beans as far as the overall effects it has on an engine. Anybody can use any filter that is designed for the application and change it before it is saturated with dirt and the chance of having a problem are practically nil. You can apply the same logic to the filter in a vacuum cleaner. There is no evidence that there is any greater risk when using one brand as compared to another. The way things are nowadays the average engine will outlast the rest of the car if you just follow the recommended maintenance schedule. -jim > > nate > > -- > replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. > http://members.cox.net/njnagel

Keeping what remains of Usenet useful is dependent on judicious filtering to be able to see the remaining useful content.

That's what it's all about, baby! --Vic

Just by lokking at it it appeared to be a better made filter. No change in oil pressure... However that horrible clacking noise went away in about 2 minutes, after clacking for the past week. Previously, changing oil did NOT eliminate the clacking noise once it started. Filter change do that? I don't know. I don't care. It stopped. |
