Fram Filters
Hello,
I have a question reguarding Fram filters. I have read a few posts that say not to use them. Why is this? The main reason I ask is I changed the oil in my Sportster 2 weeks ago and put on a Fram oil filter.
Thanks,
Jason

I will not or ever use a Fram filter on any thing that I own
But, you use what ever makes YOU feel good.

Thanks for the info pococj. I currently use Fram filters for my cars also but after reading that I do not believe that I will be using them anymore. Also I plan on picking up a Harley filter for my bike this Saturday.

For twin cam engines, HD specifies a 10 micron. They upgraded to what they call their "premium" when they came out with the TC 88 inch Engine.

Fram's reputation has suffered in recent years. Can't prove it, but most everyone I know thinks it happened when Fram became the "filter of choice" at Wal Mart. Here's an oil filter study:

Many Many moons ago I worked at Napa as a Parts guy. We had a display with a fram and wix filters cut apart. At that time Frams were Junk and probably still are. I personnaly would not run a fram on Any of my motors. As a Side note it never ceases to amaze me when I read posts from people going "Ya I run oil in my bike that I bought at walmart. its a few dollars cheaper then the good stuff but it doesnt hurt and I have never had Any Problems."
Lets see here. You Spend Ten Thousand Dollars Or MORE on your harley and your gonna run Cheap oil or filters because you save a Few Dollars. In the Long Run are you Really saving money.
