Might as well attach a coke can to the motor, which would be better than a fram filter being there's no crappy guts in it that's able to break down and be sent into the motor.
You know why fram'so slogan is 'before you slam it frame it' becouse there isn't anything good to say about their filter so they have to make up some corny phrase. Worst thing a person could do to their motor other than driving around town with no oil is strap a fram filter to the thing.
What grade oil you using? Mobil 1 i hear is known to be a little weak in their specs where as when one buys 10w30 their really getting something like 7w23 getting 10w40 will get 7w33 these specs I qouted is purely ball park figures but i used them to just get the point across,
Using Mobil one on your 99 and 01 I wouldn't put anything in lower than 10w30 and only using it in the winter where 10w40 use in the summer.
So if your using 5-30 with a fram filter.. Man
I stand by Mobil ones filter as being one of the best filters you could buy and fram being the worst.
Just a tip purolator filter use to be top dog right next to Mobil one back in the day. To be more specific purolator pureone was the filter that competed with Mobil one with the quality of the filters being equal. But a few years ago fram bought purolator and now ownes the name. I Haven't heard or searched the quality of a purolator these days buy I'd wager it's not to far from a fram.
