I just went to my Walmart it took me a few fram filters to find one with water in it so you are right I will never use a fram oil filter again
Why would there be rust if its coating. Plus why would you have a puddle of coating thats poor quality control.
Visited a Walmart to check this out. The filters on the shelf are sealed so how could you tell unless someone (maybe you?) cut them open. Anyway, I did find a box that was open and yes there was a drop of “moisture “ in the bottom. Now, tell us how you know what that liquid is? Have you sampled it and run a chemical analysis to determine composition? I suspect it is some form of water soluble rust preventative. Very common in manufacturing facilities. Please, from now on don’t open sealed boxes on the shelf. Walmart security ought to nail you for that if you did it. Who wants to buy an opened box?
You would think if it was water it would be soaked in the filter media or evaporate. As far as rust the filter will be fully coated with oil. I change my oil on time using conventional oil. If it were used longer or under harsh conditions then I would use a higher priced filter.
They aren't all sealed i said in the video why not be honest
I touched the water watch the video and its not your typical quality bypass filter.
Running Fram for 100k miles now changing oil every 3,750 miles per owners manual. Even my past vehicles. Never an issue. Everyone has become a super duper professor on youtube nowadays.
Me too. I got 457k miles out of a Saturn SL. Ran Fram and Castrol for 300k miles of that.
Same, Never had an issue with fram on both my 99 and 94 suburban's, my 99 with 300k on the clock. Sure there are better out there, but if you change your oil when your suppose to, then there shouldn't be a problem.
@@VikingDudee good mileage…. everyone is a youtube mechanic these days!!!!
3,750 miles? Wow
@@neil1997 wow your ass… when you manufacture your own car let us all know how many miles per your owners manual we should change it at………
Nate, Nate, Nate. You need to take a closer look at the Motorcraft filter, it does have a bypass valve. The valve is built into the thread end endcap that you cut off and sits at top of parts at the end of video. The holes seen are part of the bypass design. Motorcraft wouldn't sell a Ford OEM/OES filter without a bypass. The other two filters have dome end bypass, which is more common.
I second this
@@TheTech9 You are a wise and informed man.
Much agreed
It does have a bypass valve in the base plate assembly
The guy took some time to put together a very informative video, not sure why you have to be condescending because you have one useful piece of information?
I looked at several fram filters today, and I did notice what I believed was moisture inside of the filters. I picked the smallest filter (TG6607) and touched the bypass valve at the bottom of the filter, and it was oil. Fram is spraying a small coat of oil in their filters to prevent rust. Rust must be an issue with their filters for them to spray oil in them. It was not water.
An emulsified oil - water based, like cutting fluid. No harm
Moisture would evaporate before getting on the shelf.
The only thing that matters is whether it filters out impurities. It is a disposable item and doesn't need to be high quality metal or rubber. I'm throwing it away every 5000 miles. I've used frams more than any other filter for 40 years and I've never had one leak and as far as I know they've never caused engine damage.
Been using Fram filters for 40 years. never had an engine blow up. Get 200K, 300K and over 400K miles on motors with no problem. Obviously these are street driven vehicles not under high stress or in dirty environments. Biggest thing is to change oil and filter at about 3K to 5K miles and should not be an issue.
I agree, but let's remember Fram makes three quality levels of filters. They've been doing this for over 20 years! So people don't have to buy the cardboard unless they want to.
Sounds like you got lucky. I'm not taking that chance.
I'm thinking of using Fram Ultra and only change the filter every 10,000 miles, while I continue changing the oil every 5,000 miles.
Because if you change oil every 3000 miles, they work fine.
@@njsongwriter put a fram ultra filter In normal fram filter box and self checkout~
The oil bypass valve in the Motorcraft is part of the element.
Correct
Motorshaft suck, as do ford's, gm, and fiat chryslers
@@joeb2588 agreed, Lada is the only worthwhile vehicle.
@@walterk1221 Lada, wow! They are supposedly built very well. Here in the states though I have to say Toyota, Honda, some Subaru, some Hyundai, and Mazda are generally good. But Toyota is prob the most reliable. Although I can say I have 75k on my 18 Elantra and haven't had any problems.
@@joeb2588 75k is pretty low to determine whether it’s reliable or not
The fiber end cap on the Fram is also used on several other brands of filters including some Wix. The by pass valve in the Motorcraft is at the top, that little humped up section.
Ya it is. This Dude needs to be taken off the net for spreading lies. He has no Idea what he's doing or talking about. Some people might really believe him, but I hope not. He needs medicine or something. Serious
You missed the point! if you change your oil as often as you should 5k, then you don't need it to last forever! lol I have been using fram forever. over 400k on my car. been fine.
same here on my ls silverado
Ok but it's literally no more expensive to go and buy an oem quality Motorcraft filter. Have fun with your paper filters.
I think it was you who missed the point
Just because your engine hasn’t blown up doesn’t mean fram filters are good
the best is the original. OEMs. Motorcraft, AC Delco, Mopar, etc.
I've been using Fram filters for years and never had any issues with them leaking or bad filtration. but I also don't buy into running oil for 5000+ miles I always change mine in the 3000-3500 mile range.
I use fram filters change them every 3,000 miles and never never had any issues with the filters also Walmart does them in every oil change
I have been using Fram in everything for 30 years , no problems..
Same, 30+ years, several different cars, 300K miles, never any oil related issues. Engines run like new. Fram orange can, synthetic oil, changed 4-5K.
Regarding the Motorcraft filters -- The Motorcraft filters have a totally different (and much better) By-Pas Valve.
The Motorcraft ABV is at the INLET end of the filter, which prevents dirt from re-entering the engine after being scrubbed off the outer surface of the media.
Good catch; false information at 7:08
MOtorcraft oil by-pass is on top where the anti drain back valve is at.
So what does thickness of the filter media have to do with it’s ability to trap particles? SAE has J standards for measuring filtration. Length will affect surface area and possibly pressure drop across the filter. You obviously prefer coil springs to leaf springs for pressure relief, but you show no test data to prove one is superior over the other. A lot of personal opinion in this demonstration.
The problem is the poor quality control and materials used.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO what materials?
I assume you are talking fram and wix, they both have a coil spring bypass just like I bet the ford does as well. The only difference is fram has theirs mounted on the leaf spring which when it is flipped over you can see the coil spring clearly.
In any case the wix and frame are inferior to the motorcraft unit just in placement of the bypass valve alone.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO The motorcraft does have a bypass valve, it's on the top. the way of thinking here is that if the filter is so filled up with crap, that it can't flow. Then the filter can bypass it, with out having to push it through all that crap that plugged it up just to get to the valve. It can just bypass the whole filter, crap and all.
I've been a mechanic for 35 plus years and I have never had a oil filter leak.
I just opened a Fram Extra Guard PH1 oil filter I used for 8000 miles on a 4.0 liter inline six with 274,180 miles in a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used a high-quality oil filter cutter I bought from Amazon. It leaves no metal particulates when cutting open a filter, unlike using a grinder or hacksaw to open a filter. The Fram pleated filtering material was completely intact, evenly spaced, and there no gaps. The paper end caps are still securely attached to the pleated filtering material. There were no abnormal signs of wear on the filtering portion of the filter. The silicone check valve and the by-pass valve were fully intact and operational and showed no abnormal signs of wear. When I put the filter back together and squeezed the top of the filter to the filter can, I had about 3/32 of an inch crush, which indicates the filter spring did not loose its tension. For having 8000 miles of use on the Fram PH1 filter, I believe this filter could have easily exceeded its 10,000 mile recommended usage. A Fram Extra Guard filter cost me around $4.17 at Wal-Mart. Other compatible filters for my Jeep were 1 1/2 to 4 times the price. If a Fram Extra Guard filter is garbage as they say, Fram would not have been selling oil filters since 1932. I'll continue opening the oil filters as I change them to see if this is not a fluke. I have no reason to stop buying Fram Extra Guard filters.
Well I got 3 trucks and I change the oil every 10,000 miles, I use pennzoil 10w-30 and only use fram filters.
Funny thing is I have between 250,000 and 300,000 miles on each truck. I still remember all the people telling me my trucks won’t last, and none of those people ever kept a vehicle long enough to prove how they do things is better then the way I do things. Just saying
Sounds like you got lucky. I'm not taking that chance. Enjoy that rust and paper and water getting in your engine. And who knows what other debris getting through.the I'll spend a dollar more and get a quality oil filter. I think my car is worth it. And not risking everything.
I agree with 348 loaded lever the filters are no worse or no better you pay triple for a really expensive oil filter it’s really expensive to change oil now days so I can see guys using fram I know people that’s used them forever and no problem ever I think we have heard enough of this bullshit
@@jeffleblanc8850 Don't feel the badd because you just figured out you were lied to about your fram filter all this time Iol You want to continue taking that chance of something happening good luck to you. You don't need to pay triple for a better oil filter Because every oil filter even the cheapest ones are better than fram so there's no point in even using it
@@paul9912
The Fram Ultra for our car won't have any problems.
@@njsongwriter good luck lol
Fram are now owned by the Sofegi Group who also own Purflux which is another filter manufacturer and based in France. Wix Filters are now owned by the Mann Hummel group who also Filtron which is Polish based.
My preference would be a Mann filter who seem to the majority supplier of OE filters to car assembly plans around the world. I saw a listing online for genuine Kia OE filters, made in Korea and the small print on the filter can stated Mann Hummel who have a factory in Korea.
Hey Nate. Great video. I'm a subscriber now. 🍁👍👍
For me its Motorcraft for my Ford and Toyota oil filters for my Toyota, both with PennzoilUltra every 5k miles.
I replaced the valve cover gasket on a 400k mile fleet ford truck that had only seen MC filters and MC oil. The internals on this truck looked spotless and the vehicle always ran smoothly and never burned oil, oci at this site were every 5k miles.
I also replaced the valve cover gasket on a 380k mile 4runner and it had a orange Fram filter on it, the internals had absolutely no varnish and shiny metal everywhere, it never burns oil and runs silky smooth. I asked the owner (my uncle) how often does he change the oil and he said every 3k miles, he uses conventional oil he finds on sale with the included filter. That was 6yrs ago and that 4runner is still being used as a daily commuter.
Verdict: frequency of 3k-5k mile oil changes with a quality oil are far more important than the quality of oil filters.
I agree 90 percent. There is no substitute for changing the engine oil. An extra bypass filter will keep the oil cleaner much longer, but the oil will still need to be changed. I prefer the Fram Tough Guard and 3 to 5k changes.
Nate, just an FYI, the anti-drain back valve in the Fram filter, is a silicone valve just like the other 2. Obviously it's not the same shape as the other 2, but it's a proprietary design that Fram developed and uses, and is completely silicone.
The motorcraft filter has a thread-end bypass valve. Its the metallic protrusion on the top of the filter with the little holes milled into the top. If you look down in the filter nearest to the threads, you can see the bypass spring. I personally think motor-craft oil filters are built very well but it’s not a very efficient filter. 30 microns at 93.7 percent is at the bare minimum of the industry standard.
You say the gasket material is high or low quality. How do you know? What material is used? What lab test did you perform to identify the material composition of each?
Specifications, you can see for yourself on each filter website.
If I remember correctly the cartons all say “meets or exceeds manufacturers warranty requirements”. That means they have passed some very rigorous internal and independent testing. I’d be very careful about bad mouthing any of these products if you don’t have anything more than your own personal opinion. I’ve spent over thirty years testing engines in R&D engine dyno lab testing environment and have seem leakage failures on every brand of filter. Oil sample data from an independent lab proved the efficiency of the filter media. No engine failure was ever traced to a filter as cause. Engines ran 100 to 1000 hr tests. You will need some very detailed test data to convince me you have more than a personal opinion.
And again Arthur is dead on. Lots of engine run time on basic filters with no issue. It’s not to say a manufacturing issue can’t produce a defective product from time to time but there is a difference between finding a defect and claiming something has a disastrous design.
Sure the rust “meets or exceeds manufacturers warranty requirements,” and the rust may simply be a "time to time" kind of thing that's gone on for a decade.
Absolutely FACTS thank you
I really think you overstated the quality "issue" of the outside filter gasket. Having changed a lot of oil, the only time I have seen a gasket cause a leak has been when someone didn't realize the old gasket didn't come off with the old filter.
You’re shitting on the fram and are comparing it against the motorcraft. Motorcraft is made by puralator and are known for tearing. Specifically the fl820.
I've used Fram oil filters before and even cheaper ones that had ultrasonicly bonded fiber end disk's. The Fram adbv is silicone and the micron efficiency rating is @ 25 microns.
Highly dramatic. Cut open a Fram Ultra and report back.
What upsets me is that he didn’t put them back in the box ..
Fatima D Noor well you don’t know that he might have off camera
I guessing he likely put them back after he stopped filming.

Great review I really appreciate your time you put into it thanks Dave from Michigan
The motorcraft filter has the by pass on the front , the spring plate is just to keep the filter in place.
Bypass valve is use specific.
The filter for my 2018 Outback does not have one due to the mounting orientation.
Can you use a strong tin snip and maybe rock it to cut the rollover crimp??????
I use OE filters on my newer vehicles but have always used fram on my 2006 pontiac vibe. Its has 186 miles on it and have never had a problem. I change the oil every 6000 miles
not to bright are ya?
The Fluid is not water. Water evaporates at room temperature quite rapidly. The substance is likely a proprietary blend of some sort of petroleum to slow the effects of corrosion from shipping and storing.
Can you review a Motorcraft 820s oil filter? It's all I've ever used on my 2v 4.6. Seems to get the job done well. I never leave my oil in for longer than recommended even though I only use full synth. I fall under the severe service category and try my best to change it before it loses too much viscosity or gets too dark.
I only use Fram when doing a temporary oil change, such as when a head gasket blows and I'm trying to flush coolant out of the oil passages. Other than that, Purolator One for me.
Yea because water/coolant is gonna go in there anyway.
Thanks for uncover whats going on with Fram filters
Except this is one of the cheapest frams available. Rated for for low mile oil changes. Get a synthetic and it's a tank built for 20K miles
I show frams best filter in the previous video and its even worse.
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO I agree that rust inside the Fram Ultra you guys open was not good. Even the filter media looked strange. I’ll give you that one. While I don’t agree with your stance on the “fiber” end caps you are correct about that rust. I honestly wonder what the deal was there. I’ve never seen that in the few ultra cut opens I’ve done. Thanks for sharing.
@@Nono-rh4lr
There is no rust inside the Fram Ultra filter for our car. Guaranteed.
Moisture from the factory (over a period) would be sucked out of the filter by the cardboard box and cellulose media. Both are hygroscopic. It may be a thin rust preventative.
Short term moisture can be environmental condensation from after it left the factory. That’s not something you can pin on the manufacturer.
That being said I’ve seen Frams cause issues on high performance engines.
"Hydrophelic," not "hygroscopic."
Zona 3141 cellulose is both hygroscopic and hydrophilic. It will absorb water on contact AND pull it out of the environment’s air (like a closed filter box)
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow Not being a pain, trust me. Hydrophobic or hydrophelic, not not hygroscopic. Again, not trying to be a pain !!! I am a science teacher and correct little things like this, all in good nature.
Zona 3141 not a pain, just incorrect. Google around and you will find cellulose is hygroscopic. It pulls moisture from the air. That is what I am saying happened.
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow You're right !! Have a great 4th ...
Went to my local Walmart, their Fram oil filters were dry.
Some Fram filters do have 'oil' from the machining and assembly process left inside. And 'water' would have evaporated long ago.
Which bran should I get buddy??
Great video man, I learn alot from these videos.
I've always used Ryco oil filters , never had an issue with them ... High quality for a good price .. they come with a plastic cap on them to keep moisture out
Emily where do you buy Ryco filters?
@@xlightssx do they sell them in America Ryco is Australian owned
@@jayden793 ok, so I don’t think Ryco is sold in the US.
A little knowledge is so dangerous.
The Motorcraft has a thread end bypass valve that is factory spec by Ford and the Fram and Wix have dome end bypass valves.
I like that vise on the glass table
The moisture could be condensation caused by moving the filter between environments or different temperatures. If you let the filter sit out in a room with stable temperature for 24 hours, does the moisture evaporate? If so, it’s probably condensation. If not, it’s not water, but probably some excess machine oil from stamping the parts. If it’s water, it would quickly vaporize and be eliminated by the crankcase ventilation system. Oil would simply mix in. The real problem is the rest of the filter. Until an engine reaches operating temperature, the temperature differential between combustion and the block creates condensation that drains into the oil. It takes a few minutes of driving at operating temperature for the crankcase ventilation system to eliminate it. Condensation also collects in the exhaust system. This gets removed when the exhaust system is heated from front to back by engine and exhaust heat. Short trips dilute engine oil and put water and acid into the exhaust system.
Is that moisture or oil? I didn’t see any rust on that stamped steel
I buy a filter to take dirt out of oil. Which one takes more out? In the 10 to 20 micron range? Efficiency and capacity are the most important.
I recommend Amsoil/royal purple oil filter.
The by-pass on the Motorcraft is built in the top, you can see the holes. They do this so it doesn't got by a dirty filter.
I’m not buying what he’s saying. I looked a Frams at Walmart recently and saw no signs of moisture or oil. I don’t use them, but, they looked better than a few years ago. I use either Wix or OEM
Look at all the frams others have also checked, why would i care other than to help people.
Nate the by pass valve on the motorcraft is on top, all filters have bypass. There are three types of bypass valves, one on top like the motorcraft, bottom like your fram & wix, and a combination valve witch is a anti drain back valve that also works as a bypass in conjunction with a double base plate, instead of the single base plates like shown on your video. Supertech uses the combination valve on their ecore filters. If you cut open a supertech ecore filter (ST8), you will notice the base plate is made up of two pieces of stamped steal instead of one. It’s my least favorite design but it cuts cost. The bypass being in front, prevents the dirt on the filter media from entering the motor. That being said, the motorcraft filter is the best quality filter for the money, with it only being a dollar more than the supertech.
I have stated in the comments its not a valve that opens and closes its just a opening. Allowing the none filtered oil in with it. The design is just cheaper thats the reason its used.
Most bypass valves allow unfiltered oil also but the motorcraft allows un filtered oil all the time.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO Where did you get that information??? - - - "the motorcraft allows un filtered oil all the time" ??? ARE YOU JOKING?
No, there are many no-bypass oil filters. No bypass is needed in warm climates or the summer season and why would an oil filter clog up if it's changed regularly?
@@01mustang05 please provide me a oil filter (that is not cartridge) brand that doesn’t use a bypass?
Since this channel has became international a good video might be cutting open German engine oil filters. It could be MANN vs MAHLE vs Bosch Distance Plus it would be useful to know which German oil filter is best of the best.
With the serious misconceptions in this video I'm sure I wouldn't trust another one.

@@robertogomez8100 Glad you've had good luck so far, but this is the only vid I've seen from this person, and glaring mistakes like saying the rust preventative oil in filters is water, and that a filter doesn't have a bypass when it absolutely does are more than enough for me to make the decision that my time is better spent with more knowledgeable reviewers.
you cmpared diffrent brands but NOT the equale GRADEs from each brand ......that is not a fair comparision at all !!!!!!!
Wix has only two series, normal and XP. And they are both the best in the market. They beat Bosch, SCT, Motorcraft, etc. Only maybe K&N's are better but too expensive.
@@Nick-GR LOL that's not true.. WIX are'nt the best in the market.. they are good.. but not as good as a Fram Ultra... Go look it up at bobishtheoilguy forums... and the K&N's are HORRIBLY NOTORIOUS for leaking. .... and they now cost around $5
@@memopadilla5931 yup this
Forgot to mention that I am the original owner of the 2007 Honda Civic and since new only used Mobil one and Fram combo. The car was shipped to Aguadilla Puerto Rico cruising around the island. Original clutch too.
In my many years working in the field, I have never seen a Fram filter (air or oil) on a commercial engine of any kind. Mostly Baldwin, WIX, Fleetguard or OEM. A parts guy told me once that RUclips did a lot in exposing Fram. They are always sold in the bottom of the barrel stores.
When you pulled off the anti drainback valve you said they were all good but you said the fram was terrible but as far as i can tell they all look like good quality silicone valves, whats the deal?
Cadiminder lots of hate for Fram but honestly it’s not well founded. Fram / Champion Labs makes so many filters from Honda to Supertech. They can use fiber (not paper) end caps or metal. The oil filter media is “cellulose” and we don’t worry about it being “paper” but when they use the same type of material for the end caps people freak out. There are some really expensive super car makers who choose to use fiber end caps. One reason is it’s easy to adhere the filter media to a like substance. And therefore use less glue and have a stronger mating. Look there are millions of cars running all over the world using this design and you just don’t see cars dead on the road due to filters. The truth as difficult as it is for some to hear is that filtration isn’t even as important as most people think. I know that sounds crazy but it’s true. Look at some of the big Japanese manufacturers. They use filters with 70% efficiency and recommended every other oil change filter changes. Why? I’m sure people will say to save cost on advertised maintenance but that’s not the case. In depth study from engineering revealed that modern engine’s produce so little debris that filters were being tossed with barely any contamination. I know the old timers felt with a different story back when motors were loose and sludges up all the time but today is different. Anyway I appreciate the effort this guy is going through but it’s just a type of OCD and you will be fine running any filter on his table.

I heard about people referring to Fram oil filters as 'the orange can of death'. I am not sure if it came about from your video series or possibly other video reviewers. I have not seen anything overly concerning about Fram oil filters. I will still use them with confidence. Go team USA & Fram! I may have to post my own review sometime.
honestly, just try ryco, theyre pretty decent, similar price.
@@PneumaticFrog we have Ryco in Australia as one of the main brands and the main at some shops. Quality seems pretty good without opening them up. Always used them no issues
@@VX3800 yeah I live in Australia, never had bad things with it
I like seeing the different brand comparisons and really show the quality. if you do your own oil and plan to keep your vehicle for a while i never understood why save a few buck and risk your engine. everyone has their own opinion on it though. i am pretty impressed with the Purolatorboss filters. they are 13 dollars or so but they look to be a real good quality and compete to the royal purple or amsoil filter. if you do 5 to 10 thousand oil change intervals a couple dollars isnt gonna hurt for something good.
You´re right they can be even cheaper if you extend the use for about 10k miles but you have to use it with a top quality synthetic oil.
@@robertogomez8100 that is true. If you are a user of synthetic oil yes its great and worth it. Just kind of an example. Im sure theres good filters for conventional but these videos are good to open peoples eyes and really decide what you want to use your money on.

Fram filter on my car right now, ohhhh my! Hope I make it home!
The Ford cars that accept the FL500S have a bypass valve built into their oil pump fixtures

Thanks please do but look at many of them.
I feel the I learned alot from watching this video. I have a question for you if you dont mind. I have a 2003 Silverado 1500 that I have always used framed oil filters on and I run the Quaker State 5W-30 high mileage oil in it. It has 211k miles on it. What brand of oil filter would you recommend me using for my truck?
Wix, Purolator Pure One, Fram Tough Gard. Use the High Mileage oil every other oil change. Or one quart per oil change from here out.
Reason being, the High Mileage oils have seal conditioners in them. Too much may soften or swell the seals too much.
@@tarquineous thanks I didn't know that about the seals.
What you are currently running, Oil and filter. Obviously what you are doing is working, don't mess with what's working.
If you want to run a Fram, I would run the ultra. The XG model, much better filter.
Wix / Wix XP, Napa Gold / Platinum (Wix makes Gold / Platinum), Mann, Bosch Distance Plus (Mann makes some Bosch filters) is what I recommend.
Stepside1986 agreed wix is the best
I like mobil 1. If not available, I grab Wix.
I've been using Fram filters for about 30 years and never had any issues
Always overlooked on the Motorcraft filters is those large oval holes for the oil to pass thru. This provide way better flow at all times, only a few aftermarket high end filters duplicate these oval hole exactly.......I buy OEM Motorcraft filters, they have never failed me and are under 5 bucks....why use anything else for a Ford.
You should work for nascar. If I were ever to get my 91 truck restored I hope it would be from someone like you. Great at details.
Hey, how about you put the filters back in the box?
Why does everbody bash frams cheapest filter... It's made cheap to be a cheap option for consumers. Look at frams other filters, they are just as high quality as other manufacturers.
@@kingpins9 you're correct... if you buy them from normal outlets like AutoZone, but if you check Walmart there is maybe a couple, at most, filters that barely come close to frams low price point. Fram owns the market in terms of lowest priced filters... so long as you get them from Walmart.
You do not have to reset the 0 on your calipers everytime . Also just use the narrow part of the caliper at the end. And deburr both sides of the can. When measuring the paper filter you should be using a caliper that has a pressure meter on it do you always use the same pressure when measuring delicate materials.
I measure each more than once all around housing.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO You totally missed the point. You cannot measure a round surface using the "wide" part of the calipers. THAT is why they have the "knife" edge at the tip -- so you measure the thickness, not the thickness + degrees of radius.
Oh my goodness, they hardly make anything with good quality anymore. Thanks for pointing this out. 😩
I use k&n or wix love em both
wow. i’m doing an oil change tomorrow and purchased the basic fram oil filter. I grabbed it and shined a light inside and sure enough, there was moisture/ humidity in there! No thanks, returning it tomorrow and going to a proper auto parts store.
Thank you for this
I bought a Fram on the last oil change. Whoops. Gonna do a change at 2k instead of 5k since I just did the valve cover gaskets anyway. Gonna buy another Bosch after seeing several good reviews.
Where do you live? Would never find this in Colorado.
The moisture is a oil to prevent rust
Motorcraft Bypass valve is located at the top of the element, so it doesn’t pick up excess material that’s already been filter out of the oil.
Yep. For a dude that reviews oil filters for a living, that surprises me that he didn’t know that.
One thing I do like about the Fram is the grip stuff on it
I love this lmao
Psycho I don’t use them either
The Motorcraft pressure relief / bypass valve is on the bottom instead of the top.
Fram filters were crap back years ago too. My dad's engine blew up and they replaced it due to a improperly made filter gasket. Then I had seen a vehicle fram oil filter can burst for no apparent reason.
Dumbest thing and biggest lie I've heard. Here's your cookie bud.
I heard about this a long time ago. WIX is a much better and safer option. I used those fram for years just to realise they were garbage. Alot of fram comes with either moisture or rust.
I dont use fram orange because it is an entry level filter. I do use fram tough guard and above
Thanks Great video but I don't think FRAM has the power to make youtube take videos down. lol
The motor craft has a bypass valve. It’s inside the top of it.
Have You ever tested the fram ultra synthetic filter ?
Was it water or an oil film in the fram filter?
Water vapor.
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO wow that’s crazy I’ve never seen that. I use the ultra synthetic fram all the time. Maybe because I’m in Arizona where its really hot most of the year and the water evaporates.
Maybe just brought into store and change in temp
Water would have evaporated
@@JD-ns9mr the ultra is an amazing filter
Fram are great filters (??)... I've used em forever.. My fav.. The bit of rust won't hurt. Prob. just moist storage conditions.. It's just personal pref.really, In all my years I've never seen a " bad" filter..Amazing how people react to "talk" as proof, "talk" is all this is. I'll always use Fram... Fram is approved by "ISO" they know everything....Maybe this guy used to work for Fram and got fired..😁
I replace the oil and filter on my 2007 Civic myself. Mobile one 5/20, Fram 7317,. I've 230K+ miles. I'll continue to buy Fram filters at Walmart. Thanks for your concern.
See. Like this guy one of likely millions of people who have used Fram filters for thousands of miles with no issue. Why. Because filtration isn’t actually that big of a deal in modern engines. There is no need to do it but you could likely get 20,000 miles or more out of the cheapest oil filter. I know some people don’t like to hear that and say it’s cheap insurance to change it every time. And I guess I agree. But it doesn’t change the fact that it’s not quite as important as some people make it out to be.
How about those Super Tech filters for less than $3.00?
@@njsongwriter
Super Tech = Rebranded Wix filters.
Very good value.
They used to be made by Champion several years back.
Why didnt you show inside the fram can part of the filter
A very important thing is how the oil flows thru the media and filter, is actually no videos about it, is probably easy to do with a oil pump cranked for a electric motor.
Good video. Clear and informative. But you do not need the music. I do not mean to be critical. Just a suggestion. I do appreciate your efforts.
Have you done any comparisons against amsoil filter
Moisture or really light oil to prevent rust? The world may never know
good thing I use WIX in my Truck. (and Castrol GTX for the oil)
I checked it out and It’s a small amount of oil. Probably to prevent rusting if they sit on the shelf too long.
Of course, Motorcraft is what Ford puts on the vehicle and recommends for it. But heck, what does Ford know? They just built the thing.
I have a frame oil filter brand new in my hand and it has no moisture. Something happened there idk.... I'm only buying and using this filter bc I need to do another oil change and will change again at 3,000 miles....I'm not keeping it for the long haul
This dude probably shouldn't drive on humid days if he's scared of that little bit of moisture.
