Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
Well... it's been a week. I have to say there is a noticable difference. I don't have nearly the start up clatter and in particular the slow oil pressure build up when hot.
Based on my experience at least, to date, I would have to say the Fram TG3985 is superior in this regard. Glad I bought 2 right away. May have to stock up. It just appears that the quality control on the Bosch is not up to snuff. H

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
Thanks for the info Hans. We can add Rock Auto as a confirmed source for the TG3985 as well.

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
I make the billet covers for the oil filters so that would take care of the ugly looking filter

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
I must have good luck with Bosch filters, because neither the one I took off or the new one I installed it about a month ago caused clatter in the chains. I put one of rgfllamas repro AC Delco decals on it and its looking good!!

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
Using an AC sticker on a Bosch filter What do you think. Lighten up as I did put the laughing icon on. It's all good

Quote:
The AC decal that rfgllamas makes gives the filter more of an OEM look under the hood, and the Bosch decal peels right off. |

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
Thanks, I really like my Black 95 but mine has the grey and sure would have loved the beige instead.
