Re: [Chrysler300] Fram filters

[Russ Vaughan <Pacesetter300@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tony, Gil and all:
 
Below is a link of a site that has been referenced by many over the past few years.  From this site is a link of recommendations and a letter allegedly from a Allied Signal(Fram) engineer. It also exposes the roots of some of the popular Mopar filters. The information is a couple of years old, but I have seen nothing to change the basic negative recommendation about Fram filters.  Recently I went to purchase a fuel filter for a fuel injection application. Fram was the only choice at that particular store. I picked it up and looked at it only to discover it was made in China.  I put it back and went elsewhere.  
 
Read the information and make your own deductions.

Tell me, how does one determine a brand of filter is bad?   If the proof is 
in lack of engine trouble, then my use of primarily Fram filters for 20-30 
years and well over 100,000 miles on the 300H alone with no failures whatsoever 
must indicate they are not too awful!!
