Fram oil filters

[Ragnar]

Anyone ever used the CH11934 Fram oil filters? How do they compare with the OEM filters.

Frame filters are garbage.

Seriously? Always thought they were a Quality product.

Nope. I've been in the car industry for about 20 years, and I see failures from Fram filters more than any other by far.

Good to know,while I’ve used them with no problems ( that I know of) I was always a AC DELCO man myself.

Delco is good, as long as it's not the new design where the part number ends with an 'E'. Saw the filter material collapse on a couple Corvettes causing a loss of oil pressure. Same problem I see with Fram. Delco discontinued the oil filter my dad used on his 9 second Nova, so he bought some sort of Fram race filter. It collapsed on his first pass down the track causing loss of pressure. Borrowed a filter from a friend at the track, threw it on, and pressure came back, but the damage had already been done.

Frame filters are garbage.

100% agree.

Fram oil filter = ~$10

Genesis OEM = ~$15


spend the extra $5 and be safe, warranty can't be questioned if you are using OEM products.

Look at Bob The Oil Guy's website. He did a super detailed break down of filters.

And $15 is expensive for the OEM. Retail is $11.16

Do not use anything but the OEM filter in the Genesis; 3.8, 3.3T or 5.0. You'll run into oil starvation problems with any other make. Fram filters for the Genesis, are not made by Fram and are junk.
