Amazon.com Product Description
The FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter is designed to keep your engine clean under the toughest and dirtiest of driving conditions. The filter utilizes a cellulose/synthetic filter media blend that contains 9% more synthetic fibers than competing filter models. Along with its anti-drainback valve, which holds a reserve of oil in the filter to help protect the engine during startups, this feature allows the Tough Guard Oil Filter to provide 6 times more engine protection than the average leading economy oil filter and maintain up to 7,500 change interval. Couple this with easy installation and the non-slip Sure Grip outer shell of the filter and you have unsurpassed engine protection necessary for the toughest conditions.

Superior Engine Protection
Advanced features built into the FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter allow for superior engine protection, regardless of how tough the conditions. First, there is its filter media. Cellulose is the most commonly used filter material utilized in oil filters. The strength of this natural material is that it presents a random and irregular field of fibers to motor oil, trapping dirt, yet allowing oil to pass though. But as good a filtering agent as cellulose is, by itself, on average cellulose can only deliver about 80% dirt-trapping efficiency. Like many FRAM oil filters, and some competing models, the Tough Guard Oil Filter improves on the strengths of cellulose by blending it with microscopic glass synthetic fibers. Together this composite filtering media creates small windows that are able to trap the smaller dirt particles missed by other oil filters, without affecting the flow of oil. What sets the Tough Guard apart is that it uses a 9% higher level of synthetic media, providing 6 times more engine protection than the average of leading economy oil filters. This increase in dirt-trapping efficiency and its dirt-holding capacity allows it to achieve an unsurpassed 99% dirt trapping efficiency rate.
In addition to filtering media designed to protect engines while they run, the FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter also works to protect your engine when the your car is idle via its built-in silicone anti-drainback valve. Designed to hold a reserve of oil in the filter, this features helps protect the engine during startups by allowing the engine access clean, filtered oil at a time when its components may be lacking it, and need it most.
Quick and Easy Installation with "Sure Grip"
The FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter utilizes the FRAM exclusive no-slip Sure Grip feature. This textured application to the top of the filter makes it much easier to grip during installation and removal - even with oily hands. Steps for installation of the FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter are simple and include:
Easy, no-slip installation. View larger.

1. VS LEADING ECONOMY FILTERS' AVERAGE. FRAM Engine Protection ratings are based on multiplying an oil filter's dirt-trapping efficiency by its dirt-holding capacity. 2. Honeywell testing of filter efficiency and capacity of models equivalent to PH8A, 3387A and 6607 under ISO 4548-12 for particles > 20 microns. Engine protection is the FRAM measure of a filter's ability to not just trap dirt but hold it for the life of the filter. 3. Honeywell testing of filter efficiency (using FRAM XG3387A and XG8A average) and dirt holding capacity (using XG8A average only) and their leading economy filter equivalents under ISO 4548-12 for particles > 20 microns. 4. Follow recommended change intervals as noted in your vehicle's owner's manual. 10,000-mile change interval under normal driving conditions using fully synthetic motor oil.

This review is from: Fram TG3600 Tough Guard Passenger Car Spin-On Oil Filter, Pack of 1 (Misc.)
This best filter offers the most protection from the smallest particles suspended in your oil. I have used Fram filters for over 40 years for the superior protection offered by the best filtering media available. I've had cars with over 250,000 miles and over 15 years old. Built to make your car last as long as you want to keep it...this is low cost insurance...pay for Fram now or pay a mechanic later.

It may be the most common filter on the market, but it is the worst you can buy. Cardboard endcaps, lose filter media, and cheap check valve. I used one for 4K miles, went to take it off and it was stuck. Used a fram filter wrench to take it off, and it was so cheaply made, the filter began to get crushed and punctured before it broke free. Thats the last time I use a Fram oil filter.

Monroe 5797 Sensa-Trac Passenger Car Shock Absorber Reviews
I took my wife, two kids and dogs up to Big Bear, CA. These were new and never had been on our Expedition 4 x 4. Going 25-30 MPH top speed in the ice and snow one tire chain totally shredded nearly causing a flat it was so bad. Total garbage. We were fortunate that this happened in town just as we had turned off the dangerous hwy 38 in a snow storm. Stay clear of these.

These cables are easy to install, and If installed properly will provide seasons of use at reasonable speeds. If you try to drive 25 or more with these on you are going to die. The posted speed limit when these are required in Ca. is 25 or less. I recommend less a then 20 mps as you may not be able to stop and the traction control device is required due to poor road conditions. Last but not least you get what you pay for so dont expect split chains at this price.
