Review on πŸ” FRAM CA6479 Extra Guard Air Filter with Flexible Rectangular Panel by Alex Webster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits well, works well

I have used these filters for years because a) they are cheap and b) they are suitable for Revain Subscribe & Save. On average, I change the filter every 20,000 km. They fit well and are easy to assemble. Recently my old Buick had a "starts but won't start" condition. When diagnosing the problem, I looked inside the throttle body. I've owned the car for 12 years and have never looked inside (and certainly never cleaned) the throttle body. I expected it to be very, very dirty. However, when I removed the honeycomb screen and looked inside, the throttle body was surprisingly clean. In fact it was shockingly clean for a 20 year old car. A dirty throttle body definitely wasn't my problem (it turned out to be a bad ECM). I cleaned it anyway because I bought the spray but I didn't really need it. From this experience I realized that this fram filter does a damn good job and there really is no reason to buy anything else.

Pros
  • Provides double motor protection
Cons
  • Useless features
