Never heard it happening even once.Have you read all the horror stories about Fram oil filters failing and the paper getting sucked into the oil passages?
They are notorious for that.

That is one of the reasons I will never use "Fram" filters. The other is they are the worst at catching material. I only use "WIX" now. "Baldor" is also an extremely good filter.Search the Bob Is The Oil Guy forums for OCOD- the Orange Can of Death.
...although I’m pretty sure Fram quality today is light years ahead of when the term was coined about 20 years ago.

I don't use Fram oil filters (Mopar for the Jeeps and Purolator for the M1009) but for $2.60 I'll chance it. These are also the 'tough guard' filters and the can is silver, not orange.That is one of the reasons I will never use "Fram" filters. The other is they are the worst at catching material.

For the price of an engine, I won't chance it. Save 6 bucks and risk an engine? Strange math.....I don't use Fram oil filters (Mopar for the Jeeps and Purolator for the M1009) but for $2.60 I'll chance it.

Still don't see what the problem is.
Totally agree. I still remember a class I went to on oil filters (work related) . They had all the major brands represented. All cut in half. You could see right away which had the better material. The kicker though was thee "used" filters they had cut in half. Again all the major brands represented. You really could see the differences now. You actually could see which filters was allowing particles through the filter. That was when I went to "WIX" filters. Also as an aside, cucvrus your OK in using "AC Delco" filters. They are right up there with WIX and Baldwin and Baldor a few other major top brands. Top quality all. Fram though has been at the bottom of the list for so many years now I don't believe they even want to improve. They get the "buy it cheap" market and that seems to be fine with them.Most never do see the problem until there’s a problem.
Fram Filters suck
Go cheap......Get cheap.
I'm not risking an engine worth thousands on a cheap filter.
You get what you pay for.
Good Luck.

Discussing oil and filters are like discussing politics or religion.Horses, water.... *shrug*
