Is it a racing fram filter? Designed for high oil pressure?

I think motors tear up and destroy filters

I had a fram on a sbc with the bypass plugged in a dragster , made 2 passes on fresh oil and filter , lost pressure while on return road :( , shut it off and pulled it back to truck , I thought the worst and a friend of mine said to check the filter , we did and it was collapsed. :shock: ..borrowed a wix from another racer and fired it back up , full pressure , have been useing wix or napa (same filter) ever since with never a problem , :D

OH boy more aweful stories abou t fram oil filters killing motors.

I thought ever one knew they were motor killers by now.
Maybe we need a sticky on this one.


*BEWARE!!!!! DO NOT USE A FRAM OIL FILTER ON YOUR MOTOR*

2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ENGINE ALMOST TAKEN OUT BY BAD PENNZOIL FILTER. STOCK ENGINE , 5W 30 OIL . ABOUT 2000 MILES INTO OIL CHANGE. FRAM MAKES PENNZOIL FILTERS.

I run Fram filter on an Aluminum sprint car SBC. BUT filter is HP4 ir HP1 Fram filter would'nt think of puting a stock filter on as I have 80 lbs pressure. never any bad luck with those.

a guy i work with lost a mild 427 in his street car to a fram. roded on her a bit filter collapesed and he didnt notice the press. drop and torched the motor. nothing but wix in the truck and wix racing filter in the dirt mod. never had a problem.
