Gary Lewis Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'm going to guess that this guy doesn't like Fram, aka The Orange Can Of Death, filters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reamer Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 My old man was an automotive machinist since the 50's and he always mentioned "stay away from Fram filters" too …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 BITOG has been bashing Fram for years. I just use MotorCraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Wyatt Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I use nothing but Motorcraft filters on all my Fords as well, and have done for many years now. I personally seen one that had collapsed and nearly ruined a 351C about thirty years ago. Better safe than sorry in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Motorcraft also, unless Wally World is out, then I'll get Purolator or NAPA or Wix. Oh, or Hastings! Edit: Add Hastings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was done several times, keep in mind Ford and MOPAR V8s used the exact same size filter for years. http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even used an orange can of death on my worst enemy's vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fram materials and design were better, the Motorcraft filters would have been redesigned accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
