I now wish I got a NAPA Gold filter, already. lol. I paid $13 for a filter for my mower!!

 

Dude ... that's an EXTREMELY common problem ... certainly not limited to Fram. There are all kinds of horror stories about folks blowing out the double seal and pumping a crankcase full of oil onto the ground. I check for it twice and lube the new ring REALLY good with new oil ... still seen the old one stick ... once with a K&N.

 

Hey!! I work at Wal-Mart! And I'm runnin the Supertech! Double whammy! LOL J/K its all good! The Supertech ATF4 seems to work fine for me, got like 10K on it and it's all good!!


PC... Not cappin on you, but I see filter rings stick at least a couple times a day, from all sorts of differnet filters... but I'm a WIX man too, especially after cutting almost every type open...

 

Supertech ATF+4 is the same thing as Mopar ATF+4.

nothing beats that 1inch socket on the k&n filter. I changed my moms dakota oil , and with 4wd the skid plates blocks the filter. Super annoying to get a filter wrench in there, all i need is a 1 inch socket and a swivle extension and a ratchet , and boom its out. I still havent had a gasket stick , but i be sure to lube it with oil before slaping it on , Again , its never on long enough to stick . Id rather spend the extra money , and know that my ram is safe. Altho ive notice , if i run the motor hard (aka flooring it alot) ill change it sooner...... anyone got anti ocd pills?

 

I hate changing the oil in my freind's Dakota. Cheap bastard will only buy Frap filters and Valvoline and expect it to last 6,000 miles.
