Purolator pure one oil filter?

[lazyfcker]

Anyone ever use one of those on their sr20det....a friend of mine gave it to me for free and its a 92 se-r filter but i wondering how good it works....any negatives about it?

I've been using them for a long time, never had any problems. I went with it because they were recomended to me because of their design, it's a well built filter.

I'm using one on my SR20 now, and I used one on my old CA20 before that.

K&N's are great if you don't mind shelling out the dough.

an oil filter is and oil filter. as long as its filtering the oil and you are doing oil changes at proper intervals why would it matter?

my thoughts exactally. but i'm still curious as to why people think fram is a bad choice

A buddy of mine had something inside his fram filter fail and it blocked all oil flow to the motor. Luckily the oil light came on and he shut it off with minimal damage to the motor, but checking several things it was found that swapping the filter made the problem go away.

After that I will never put a fram on anything I own. Not worth the risk.

having taken several statistic courses, defects are part of the manufacturing process. companies do not check every product they make. instead they take a random sample from their X number of parts and perform quality assurance testing. most companies have a 96-98% passing rate. meaning 2-4% fail. so just because your friend used a fram filter and had something in it, doesn't mean they are bad. your friend just got a bad filter. fram is a maker of many OEM oil filters for a bunch of car manufacturers. they wouldn't be so if they had a bad reputation.

I use Puralator PureOne filters on my KA. I picked it based on price and that filter comparison Dori linked to. Ive only done 3 oil changes since buying the car, but...

lenso, not sure I completely agree with your logic. Vitamin's story isnt the first Ive heard about a bad Fram. Ive never heard a horror story about a Mobil 1 filter, so my guess would be that Fram causes more problems than Mobil 1. Maybe Fram has looser mfg tolerances or something. Or just takes a smaller sample size or accepts a lower passing rate...

thats a real good point. it jsut amounts to VERY bad luck. besides,if you guys could prove that it was the filter that did the damage i'm sure you could get fram to compensate somehow...
