Default Re: Fram Air Filter

For what it's worth, I've been using fram filters for over 40 years now and never had a problem. My vehicles go well over 200K before I get rid of them and they still have a tight engine, they just rust out. I once had a conversation with a fram engineer at a bar and he explained to me that although the fram is mostly cardboard and no metal internally that it's not the metal parts that make a good filter. He explained to me that it's all in the adhesive, that's the part that can break down in a filter and cause particles to get by. Fram uses good adhesive that will not break down during it's lifespan. Again, just adding what I've experienced and many disagree.
