Oil Filter Comparison

ss3011 · 12-31-2018, 02:03 PM

Just wondering if we are comparing apples to apples . The WIX filters I use which has the R after the number has a metal screen that backs up the filter media . I used to use the HP version of the Fram filter , which I never had a problem with . When I get out to the shop , I will cut apart a Fram HP filter and see how the filter media is attached to the bobbin . I know the can is thicker than the street version .
