That e-mail from the engineer is DEVASTATING. I had always liked the Fram gripper thingy on the outside of the filter, and didn¹t much think about the quality inside.
Just as an aside about hidden things and quality, there is an effect that goes on with the ³big box² stores and certain manufacturers. To give a prime example, if you buy a Kohler faucet set from your local retail plumbing house or home furnishings store, and then go to Home Depot to buy the exact same model (no difference in SKU, model number, etc.), and then bring them home and take them apart, you will find that one has metal parts inside, and the other plastic. In other words, the big box stores can sell you ³the same product² at a much deeper discount because it¹s not the same product. --Dave Shugarts On 10/5/07 8:00 PM, "Art Snapper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This isn't the first time I've heard bad things about FRAM. > Art > > On 10/5/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: >> >> Here is an interesting site where someone disassembles many oil filters & >> gives opinions on them.
