I had read this article and i thought I should check my Fram filter out. It
was a fram double guard (the $10.00 one) and I didn't like what I found. After
changing the oil I dremeled the oil filter apart and looked at the filter media
inside. Most of it looked good, but where it was connected together with the
metal plete there was a small hole almost big enough to put a finger through.
This looked to be something that just wasn't put together good, the plete was
crimped on while out of alignment. So I had some unfiltered oil circulating
while that filter was on there. That's the last FRAM I'll ever use.
