Efficient Oil Filtration with Fram Extra Guard PH3675 - 10,000 Mile Change Interval Review

If you use full synthetic oil this is the filter you need. This is a longer version of the XG3506. It has a two-ply synthetic wire base and silicone anti-drain check valve.

This leak I saw was very slow, a tiny spot the size of a quarter of an hour overnight, possibly oil on the frame around the filter when I installed it. The truck has good…

If you park your car during the day and start the engine the next morning, you have the problem of not having an anti-drain check valve. it is very possible that you initially have an engine noise that comes from the hydraulic valve lifters not being filled with oil. This is an annoying noise that quickly disappears. But a filter with an anti-drain check valve avoids…
