Review on 10K Mile Change Interval Spin-On Oil Filter - FRAM Extra Guard PH3593A by Jason Lockwood

Forget the internet mythology of the old fram filters derisively called OCOD. orange vessel of death. This is a completely different filter. The Fram company produces 4 filter stages. The Ultra is currently the top model and uses the best materials and construction. Don't confuse Ultra with an old orange can with glued end caps, it's like comparing a modern radial tire to an old cross-ply design. It does not make sense. Thanks to its mechanically stable construction with metal end caps and metal support screens, the Ultra has an excellent filtration efficiency of 99%. Bobistheoilguy is the leading oil and filter discussion site on the internet and this filter has earned a good reputation among very picky people. Members of the group have dissected and examined the inside of this filter and generally agree that the filter is the best choice, while maintaining their general dislike of Fram's entry-level product. The filter I received was made in the USA. I have ZERO associations or interest in Fram filters other than trying to select an economical filter for my advanced drain application.
