Gil and All: If you really want to see how oil filters are tested and learn more than you ever wanted to know about Oil, Lubrication and Additives, see this site: http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi A friend has been on this site for years and is always quoting information that he has learned there. I had to register (Free) but it is a VERY interesting forum. They also have graphic photos of failed filters if you cannot read, but you still need to know how to read the forum to know what you are looking at. http://groups.msn.com/oilfilterstudy/shoebox.msnw 300ly John Mc Adams (In SoCal) -----Original Message----- From: lettercars@xxxxxxx [mailto:lettercars@xxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2005 9:25 AM To: awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx; FFGREG32@xxxxxxx; Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Fram filters In a message dated 3/12/2005 10:38:25 AM Eastern Standard Time, awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx writes: > > > > My mechanic told me that Fram filters were the best. > I have one left.

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!! 300ly, Gil Cunningham Tallahassee, FL [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
