Another great thread where *most* of the people replying just give their opinions, without any proof what so ever to back it up.

Fram is all I ever use on my cars; never had a problem. You can usually find them on sale 2/$7, plus I like that they're easy to take off by hand.

This information was rather new to me and I have used Fram on my other bikes with out any problems; but now that I know the difference, I prefer to stay away from Fram. You can make up your own mind.





notice how the spacing on this one is far from being equal- which obviously will change the flow.

my reply wasn't a opninion I've seen 2 collapse, one was on a 5 degree morning on my own car and the other happened to my buddy when he was at the track, he took off, oil pressure dropped so he shut down, found the filter collapsed, luckly there was no damage to the engine

FTW....FRAM IS JUNK....It is like a time bomb that may or may not go off with your bike...why take the chance to save $1 or $2. Supertech is FAR better. But I got with M1 from wal-mart... M1-110

Altho if you noticed, the last one is neither a fram nor a honda....at least not either of the one's pictured above....
