Re: [BaadAssGremlins] best oil filter for a 390? (Oil Filter study)

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to use Fram "oil" filters almost exclusively in the 80s and early 
90s. I believe from memory it was PH-11 for AMC V8s. The earliest I remember 
the stories about Fram filters shredding was in the real early 90s, possibly 
90, or 91. Sometimes you have competitor throw rumors into market to knock 
out your rival. You see this all the time, big and small companies. But for 
the like of me, there seemed to be some truth about the filters coming apart 
and plugging oil pumps and destroying engines. You would hear it at car club 
meetings, car meets, internet, wherever.

Not to say there was/was not truth behind it, you see tons of that stuff out 
there like Microsoft will give you free money (or Pepsi, GE, name big 
company) if you forward a email; or 'dying kid in Britian wants you to send 
him business cards' or 'gang members will kill you if you flash headlights' 
or 'AIDS needles being put in coin return slots' or 'they are tracking all 
emails' or 'you will get a check if you forward a email' ad nauseum like the 
'don't buy gas from Exxon/Mobil' thing, all crap urban legends that seem to 
take life of own on internet and blogs and so forth.

Again, I never did research the Fram thing, just figured it be best to move 
on to another filter if there was any 'shred' (no pun intended) to the Fram 
oil filter rumors I was hearing at meets and shows. Like Doc below I have 
also used WIX, Purolator and also Micro Guard GL-20033, which I believe is a 
Wal Mart brand, for years, still have a case of those in garage!
