I started this thread because a while ago I posted a post in the Soob
group about my '89 losing oil pressure. Now, the oil pressure wasn't
fantastic when I bought it, but it got worse, *FAST*! Then someone made a
remark about Fram oil filters. Now, I use Quaker State, Castrol and
Valvoline (Mostly QS and Castrol) in my engines; never the bargain
basement or Wal*Mart stuff. I get the oil at AutoZone,and they often have
a deal including a Fram filter, so I get them.

I'll be replacing the Fram on the Soob with a Wix this weekend, and we'll
see what happens...

It's just funny, on three different cars, after installing a Fram filter
the oil pressure suffered an immediate drop!

Is it a good filter? I hope so. I usually use the Extra Gaurd, and the
last 'special' was a Tough Gaurd, but still the pressure dropped...
