I haven't even seen one in person sir. Sorry. I can say that a few places that supply their own filters will recommend the Endurance when they cannot, for whatever reason, supply one of their own. Seems like an endorsement of sorts. Grain of salt required perhaps.

 

Here's the business end of the ones Nick sent me.

See how that works? I didn't lie and I didn't guess and I have no egg on my face. :crackup:

The Fram Endurance filters at local Walmarts were all rusty inside.

Fram is bankrupt now retailers are unable to restock. And finding alternative suppliers.

FRAM Bankruptcy Status

Parent Company Filing

FRAM's parent company, First Brands Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 29, 2025. This filing was made to stabilize its business operations amid significant financial difficulties.

Impact on Operations

Despite the bankruptcy filing, the FRAM manufacturing facility in Greenville, Ohio, continues to operate. The plant, which produces FRAM oil filters, has not ceased production, and local officials have indicated that operations remain stable for the time being.

Financial Details

First Brands Group reported liabilities exceeding $10 billion against assets of $1 billion to $10 billion. The company has secured $1.1 billion in debtor-in-possession financing to support ongoing operations during the restructuring process.

Future Outlook

While the bankruptcy filing affects U.S. operations, First Brands' global operations are expected to continue without interruption. The company is currently exploring options to sell its business as part of its restructuring efforts.

Advance Auto seems to be dumping Fram but otherwise the brand seems to be carrying on business as usual.


First Brands did close down their brake parts division (Raybestos, Cardone) in the last week.

 

Story gets more and more interesting with all the fraud being alleged.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
