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.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
