rallyruss Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Nah.. Collapsable filters save space yeah and its got that grippy stuff so when the crimp starts leaking all over you can still get the filter off by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase relax man. you did admit to using a fram so you should expect some flack from those of us that have been in the business since before you were born. they do leak from time to time. they also have been known to cause complete engine failures when they fall apart internally. these are not just "old mechanic" stories passed down but things I and other mechanics I know have seen personally over the years. now dont take offence. I know that you are a sharp guy and are learning tons every day. just rember im just like you but with 15 more years of real world automotive experience. its what ive done since before I was your age. the old saying "when you get to be my age you will understand" applies here. this is a forum and things posted need to be viewed carefully. some bits of info are excelent but they can be hard to distinguish from the BS at times. dont get all excited and try to set the record "straight". it just leads to little battles and makes you frustrated. now go fix your car and tell us how it runs and what you did. thats the good stuff around here. have fun.

Yar, what he said. This site is a great stimulant for endorphins, in the minds of those of us who are coming to realize how much we don't know there truly is nothing like learning, and while reading is no substitute for experience, it still fires up the ol' neurons and grows new synapses, and thats always good stuff. Reading also results in fewer bashed fingers, cuts, and bruises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
