Fram filters are crap. I wouldn't put one in my car, even if it was free. |

Please, they aren't that bad, crap is a little harsh. You can go and buy K&N for the added air flow/HP but you will pay through the nose for that and more often too. |

So it appears they don't make these for normal passenger cars since I checked for our 3 cars and none of them have the Air Hog filters available. |

These "cotton" filters have very poor filtration efficiency. It's ok if you want to squeeze every HP out of your engine, but it's not a good idea if longevity of your engine is your concern. They do provide more airflow due to less restriction, but less restriction means less protection for your engine. Afterall, the filter's function is to protect your engine from small airborne dust particles, which can cause wear on your engine. The lubricating oil film thickness is on the order of 1 to 2 micrometer, and your filter needs to remove particles larger to protect the engine. These "screens" are so open that they can't effectively stop very fine particles. |

So do any of you actually clean and re-oil them? How does that work? It's easy, you just read the instructions. |

nascarfrk said:RedPlasticCup said:Anyone know a good place to pick up the oil/cleaner kit used to maintain these things?Fleet Farm Thanks for the reply, but man that's nowhere near where I am in DC area. I tried the national and east coast auto chains, and Amazon, but no luck so far. There's an eBay store, with a $10 handling fee for a $6 item, which doesn't sound so great. If anyone else knows where to get it, post away! |

If anyone else knows where to get it, post away! Just get the K&N brand kit (or separate larger cleaner and oil sprays), it's avaiable at most auto parts stores. |
