    I'm one of the few that thinks FRAM turns out a damn fine product, so long
    as they have to work to Honda's requirments.


    If the bypass "failed", then the element was clogged and the bypass valve
    was probably plugged up as well. How long was the filter in place for?

    FRAM bypass valves as used on the Honda filters are pretty much foolproof.
    Very simple and durable.

    Good question!! DOCUMENTED answers anybody?

    It seems to become a "given" in the discussions groups now that putting a
    Well, it wasn't failure, but after several weeks of Minnesota winter
    inactivity, my '98 Altima would exhibit several seconds of chain
    rattle when started with a Fram filter. Switched to an A/C Delco and
    the noise went away.

    And yes, apparently our dear Honda has some sub-assemblies
    Or the other way around.....going to a Pontiac dealer and buying a
    Toyota (Martix) instead of normal Pontiac junk...

    Not personally. However - I'd just say that opening one up and seeing
    the "quality" of construction and materials can have an impact on
    whether or not one decides to use a Fram oil filter.

    That being said, I do remember the recall of Fram motorcycle filters.
    They mounted the threads too far away from the gasket, such that it
    would only spin on about two threads deep. The filter shot off of
    several motorcycles, and there may have been injuries or death as
    a result. There have also been reports about the cardboard endcaps
    of Fram oil filters collapsing in VW Corrado engines under the
    stress of the supercharger.

    Are you sure about that Can$155? Is the Can$ falling with the US$? Do you
    really mean 7% tax on the shipping charges? It could still work out
    cheaper than the ~$250. you're going to pay for a pair of Acura rotors of
    apparently dubious quality. Have you actually used them for parts?

    Check the Extra Guard here http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters.html
    and the comments here http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilter-fram1.txt
    both linked from http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html

    Note the Extra Guard filter element colapsed and clogged oil passages -
    can't get much worse.
