Re:Split topic: Oil Filters

I use the Fram 3976A for over 50,000 miles with no filter problems.I like fram they stand behind their product,I remember reading some time ago that the fram could not stand the high oil pressure of the cummins,but I can't see that being a problem because my race runs much high pressure than my truck and it runs a fram.I think the power of suggestion goes a long way. :P

I have 6 of those things you can have! They are junk and fall apart taking the engine with them. I bought them because they were clearing them out of the parts store, a week before I read the TSB.

Seems the parts people knew they were bad, thats why they were sitting in the el cheapo bin I found them in. I guarantee they didn't sell them for a buck a piece for nothing

No way will I use them on my engine, maybe the wifey would like to hang them on the Xmas tree ;D

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and believe it when people tell you there is a problem.

That TSB was written by dodge the same people who due not stand behind their products,because if they did this site would only have a high performance section and no need for the other topics.Before I stop using fram someone will have to show me how many motors failed because of them and not hear say failures.

Re:Am I using the wrong oil filter?

Tartarus,

I have never seen nor heard of ANY Champion filter containing cardboard endcaps.
