What can I say? This is an air filter.

Fits my 2000 Ford Explorer XLT SOHC 4.0. This exchange process takes a minute or two and saves money compared to paying the dealer or auto mechanic three times. tips. Replace the air filter every year.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Something else

Perfect fit for my 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0L

I used it on my 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0L. Perfect fit, no problem. Change every 20,000 miles; That's probably a bit early as where I live it would probably be possible to drive 30,000 miles with no problems, but the service is cheap and you never know when you might forget it and accidentally move.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Only available in black

It is unknown if it filters.

Trust me these filters work. I don't know which brand is better. HOWEVER I have seen the result of NOT using an air filter. Your engine wears out very quickly. I couldn't believe that cylinder barrel wear was possible after 30,000 miles or so. You should change them every year, regardless of brand.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Works great - Air Filter

I grew up on the days when you changed your oil and filters every 3000 miles. it does the job. Filters are getting harder and harder to find and more expensive, but I think it's the manufactured product that's driving things, not supply and demand. The industry just wants to change what we use. I'll stick with what I know until it's no longer available. nothing wrong with Fram products.

Pros
  • Easy to read panel
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required

Undecided - defect or second? Awaiting response from FRAM

This is #2 of 2 arrived. The first was crushed on the way. I wanted to share this in case anyone else sees the same thing. How acceptable is excessive burr? OR is it a factory 2nd one that somehow sells itself as new? Excess material on all four sides is sufficient to cover the first row of diamond shaped supports in the reinforcement mesh to cover at least 10-15% of the flat square section of the top of the filter surface. In comparison, this extra material in a cheap black general-purpose…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
