Oil Pressure ?'s - Frams?

[Fundsalo Racing]

Ever see a close-up of a Ferrari engine that did _not_
have a Fram?

I've used Fram for many many years too, on many
different types of vehicles, all with great results.

Could the diff in pressue be due to an old (clogged)
filter Vs a new clean one?

Fram claims high-technology, quality filtration and
low pressure drop, FWIW.

I will be switching away from Fram now, because my new
employer does not like personally like 'those orange
filters' and I don't want him to see them on my cars
anyomre. When in Rome.....

-glen  "Upon common theaters, indeed, the applause of the audience is of more importance to the actors than their own approbation. But upon the stage of life, while conscience claps, let the world hiss! On the contrary if conscience dissapproves, the loudest applause of the world are of little value."
