Re: In a word, FRAM Oil Filters SUCK!



Has your D ever overheated? I've seen this before on another car 
and it turned out that the car overheated and "cooked" the oil 
inside of it. Made a big mess and the oil pretty much solidified 
everywhere making it look like some sort of material when actually 
it was the oil all hardened up. We took off the filter and it was 
caked inside like from what I can see in your photos and also we 
removed the valve covers and it was all caked on all over the valve 
springs. Now I'm not saying your engine overheated but maybe the oil 
you used was not heavy enough? I've used Fram filters on every one 
of my cars for as long as I can remember and never saw that happen 
before until my friends car overheated very badly.
