I'm happy it ended my cold start rattles if nothing else. I'm just curious to know if you would still see 240 temps with the oem filter....or even a crappy Fram for that matter.
Pros: ended cold start rattles
I use fram a lot, never ever had a problem.
Pros: never had a problem
I disagree. I have used the fram and I am very happy with it. Speaking which, time to change oil, and that stupid filter is hard as hell to get off.
Pros: very happy with it
Cons: hard to get off
I don't think Fram filters are all that bad. I've used them before with no problems. I have been scared away from them, though. There are much better filters out there for a couple more bucks. I have not read any horror stories on the 'tex about a Fram actually causing an engine to die, but maybe I have not looked hard enough.
Pros: used with no problems
Cons: better filters available
Oil filter Mann/Mahle NOT Fram... much better quality than fram.
Cons: lower quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
the fram's are junk for the VR, the flow(filtering ability) may be different and the pressure valve in the filter is funky(if it has one I can't remember).
Cons: are junk, funky pressure valve

Volkswagen Corrado
my oil filter housing is leaking profusely from the big O ring again. Has this happened to any of you. What would cause this? Could it be oil filter failure? I only have 1,000 on it since the last change and it happened last time with the same brand of filter (Fram). Any reason for this leak besides it being Fram
Cons: leaking profusely, leaks after 1,000 miles

Do NOT use a FRAM oil filter, whatever you do! Mahle, Mann, or VW OEM only.
Pros: Mahle, Mann, or VW OEM
Cons: Do NOT use FRAM
Vehicle:

I have been using FRAM filters all this time, and the problem has re-developed.
Cons: problem re-developed
