I'd like to voire dire you as to the extent of your expertise. What would the correct timing of a 1955 chevy belaire with a 325 engine be?![]()

That's the kinda stuff that I'm not an expert in, because I don't have lots of years of hands-on experiece actually working on many different cars.
I can still troubleshoot just as good as the next person.. Although it certainly isn't as concice as Roger usually was, due to the aforementioned lack of experience with many different cars...
I like to think that I know about engines in general.. I am not a mechanic in the strictest sense, it's not like I have a shop or anything... I just know and understand how engines work better than some.

I use the K&N. They have a valve in them so that oil flows through but can't drain back out.

the only reason i change mine every 3k, is cause i have a built honda. yes a honda, its not rice at all. click the link in my signature " the batmobile ", its a website dedicated to my car.
my oil is basically black by the time 3k miles rolls around, and my oil level gets pretty low by then, built honda motors... love oil. so much that your basically dry by 5k miles. 9k redlines do that.

Fram is a very good brand. My whole family has used them for years.

I use to use honda OEMs and until fram/honeywell was all you could get from the dealer. I've cut apart the fram supplied honda OEM filters and they still have the trademark cardboard endcaps.
Used Purolator Pureones for a while, but reviews say the pressure drop is the highest out of all the premium filters. Since I drive hard, low oil pressure is probably bad.
Then switched to K&N, but that stupid bolt they weld to the end of the filter actually makes it harder for me to install and remove because I can't use my filter cap socket attachment.
Probably gonna get Bosch or next time.

I really don't think the flow rate/pressure drop thing is a big deal. Your engine is never going to be starved for oil unless your oil pump goes out or there is insufficient oil in the crankcase.Originally posted by: Insane3D

As far as oil pressure, can't you monitor it? How do you know it's low. It seems to me that low oil pressure would be reliant on many factors like oil pump, viscosity used, state of oil in the engine, etc. IF you were using a Pureone and your oil pressure wasn't any lower, then wouldn't the extra filtration be a good idea?

I've used FRAMs on several cars for many years. Never had a problem.
Maybe it makes a difference for NASCAR, but for the average Joe, I don't think so.
Well i have removed a PILE of them that have collapesd and even seen some blow off.
Fram is junk. There are better filters that cost less. So you have no reason to use them.
