Oliefilter

[Gæst]

OK, lad mig lige få den igen. Hvorfor er det lige at WIX oliefiltre er bedre end dem fra AC Delco, eller andre for den sags skyld ? Fås de også til 454 ?

Eller er det ligesom med motorolie et spørgsmål om 'religion'  ?

Smipe.. Mht. Religion.. JA det tror jeg.. Men jeg ved heller ikke rigtigt noget om det.. Men alle svarer forskelligt - som med motorolie..

AC delco fejler ikke noget i sig selv, problemet ligger i filtre fra FRAM og Fram producerer nogle gange filtre for ACDelco, som forbruger har du bare ikke enchance for at vide hvem der har produceret det filter du køber fra ACDelco.

Vixx er ikke det bedste filter på markedet, men det er et godt velankendt mærke i USA med sin helt egen fabrik, 80% af alle andre filtermærker er produceret af andre end dem som sætter deres navn på det.

De problemer JEG har oplevet med FRAM doubleguard oliefiltre (de orange med sort bund) er heftig ventilstøj ved opstart har ennda haft et filter som lukkede helt af for olietrykket  jeg mener ikke man behøver at være religiøs for at kunne sige at det er filtre man vælger at gå uden om fremover.

De test jeg har læst omkring konstruktionen af FRAM filtre viser helt klart årsagen til de symtomer jeg har oplevet selv, det værste er næsten at de er realterede problemer med de filtre som du ikke kan se eller høre  til gengæld kan det være at din motor kører rundt på urenset olie fordi at sikkerhedsventilen i filtret ikke lukker tæt.

om i vælger det ene eller det andet filter gør ingen forskel for mig, syntes bare i skulle have fakta.

Jeg har ligeledes ekstremt dårlige erfaringer med orange/sort Fram filter, hvor olietryk forsvandt totalt efter ca. 100 km's kørsel efter udskiftning.

 

Jeg vil andrig mere anvende Fram.

-Russell,
I obtained great satisfaction from reading your oil filter survey.

I worked for two years as the oil-filter production line engineer in
an Allied-Signal FRAM facility and I can confirm every bad thing you
have said about FRAM automotive filters. That's from the horse's
mouth, as it were.

I'm also a quality engineer and can confirm that FRAM applies no
quality control whatsoever to any of the characteristics for which we
buy oil filters. I frequently saw filter designs which were barely
capable of meeting J806. Many of FRAM's designs will block and go to
bypass after trying to filter very little contamination. There were
often leakage paths at the paper end discs when these were not
properly centered on the elements. Some designs had the pleats so
tightly packed against the center tube that they would block off in no
time. I had discovered that the FRAM HP1 that I had been buying for
about $20 Cdn was EXACTLY the same as a PH8 inside - the only
difference being a heavier can - no advantages in flow capacity. The
paper filtration media was of apparently poor quality and the process
of curing the paper resin was very inconsistent - elements would range
from visibly burnt to white. FRAM's marketers admitted that there was
just about no way the public could ever prove that an oil filter
contributed, or did not prevent, engine damage. The only thing FRAM
tested for was can burst strength. Another problem that they have from
time to time is in threading the filter base - often there are strands
of metal left behind on a poorly formed thread.

I have not used a FRAM filter since I started working there. Their
claims are entirely and completely marketing bullshit.

If people really want to protect their engines, a good air filter is
vital (which excludes FRAM from that list as well) and a combination
of one depth and one full-flow hydraulic filter, together in parallel,
will do the job of filtration to perfection.

Thanks for doing a great job in trying to get the truth out! You can
quote me anytime.
