Saddle_Bag Posted June 6, 2008 Share #3 Posted June 6, 2008 Isn't this the filter only not the screw on filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted June 6, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 6, 2008 Yep. Talked to my local "smart-guy" yesterday, just some info------ filters are rated at "single pass efficiency". Factory specs state 70% trapped particulate on 1st pass thru filter. HiPro filters average 82% trapped, Fram is rated 85-87% and K&N is 87% +. Biggest thing is mileage and time. He was in motorcycle R&D back in the 80's & early 90's and told me this: lotta miles in little time--IE--WIld Hair (Lowell)--change filter and top off oil (3-5000 miles or higher). If your like most of us--- 3- 5000 miles per season-- change oil every month and a half or so. Oil is just like brake fluid, will absorb water from the atmosphere and break down. Not all we talked about, but a good primer. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddle_Bag Posted June 6, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 6, 2008 I didn't think there was an issue with the filtering part of Fram, but the quality of the screw-on filter construction. Not everyone had this issue. Use what works for you. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted June 6, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 6, 2008 Been using these Fram's for a few years. Change oil and filter often. never had a oil related problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone had this issue. Use what works for you. joe That's one thing he said, is screw-on filters don't always have the proper anti-drain back valve, lets all the oil drain back down out of your motor. That was his big problem with screw on filters. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
