Are fram fuel filters any good? I know their oil filters suck,but what about the rest of their filter line?

 

Hey I'm curious about this too. Anybody know? Anybody?

Only way to know is to cut open a fram fuel filter and look at how its constructed.

 

Fram air filters are some of the most restrictive on the market. I use their fuel filters tho without problems. The last time I cut apart used oil filters the AC filters were a joke and the Purolators were the best, Fram filters were ~OK, nothing dismal and nothing exceptional.

basically would I be better off with a motorcraft or purolator

 

Personally, after having a fram oil filter blow part on me 1000 miles from home leaving me stuck in the middle of the mid-west on Thanksgiving day...I now stay away from their products. I like the Wix (NAPA), Baldwin line of products. I just think the construction is better...
I'm old fashion...I buy my auto parts at a real auto parts store...with a guy behind a counter getting me the part. Pay a little extra and have the confidence of having a good part.

 

I'm with you. I buy almost everything from NAPA. I have always had good luck with most of their stuff. Rebuilt's being the only problems. But most rebuilt's are junk. I try to buy new. Wix/Napa filters are my choice. I do buy AC Delco oil filters for my Chevy's & Motorcraft for my Ford sometimes from Wally World.

 

I usually stick with Wix or Purolator for fuel filters and Motorcraft for oil filters.

 

Just the mention of the name "Fram" touches off much contraversy.jd

 

And mostly by clueless people

 

Talk about reviving the dead, this thread is 6 yrs old

Fram fuel filters are OK, oil filters are another story.

 

I tend to go with luber Finer or Fleetguard filters and also Mahl I get such a deal on them its hard to pass them up.
