Re: Opinions on Fram Toughguard oil filters?
Not to pick on anyone in particular on this value NG but..........
Cummins and other engine manufacturers dont make filters, they buy
private branded filters made by one of the several filter mills. The
filter manufacturers dont make the filter media, they buy the filter
media from one of few paper mills that make resinated paper filter
media.
All the **hype*** about which is best filter is unfortunate nonsense
when comparing true particle retention and efficiency. I offer that the
'websites' offering filter compariosn are probably established by slick
marketing types who want to steer you towards their particular client
by reinforcing you gullibility to 'brand loyalty'.
Especially in a recirculation filtration mode such an oil recirc. in an
engine, the faster, larger, cheaper (which you change more often)
filter will do the BEST job.
just an observation of a filtration engineer.

Re: Opinions on Fram Toughguard oil filters?
May I suggest a 'better way'
1. sludge/varnish removal: Drain dino oil, fill crankcase with "Marvel
Mystery OIl", run at no load for short period of time, shut down and
let 'soak' for 8 hours, drain and save MMO. Fill with dino oil and
add 5-10% MMO to crankcase oil.
2. Add MMO to fuel to eliminate carbon build up in ring grooves - 'top
oil' the engine.
3. Cold Start wear: Install a pressure oiler.

Quality control plays no part in your comparison? The filter

Re: Opinions on Fram Toughguard oil filters?
Hmm--
Ok are we saying here that it's ok to use a filter other than the mfg
recommended number as long as it's larger and the threads and size match?
