Fram Ultra XG2 Oil Filter Cut Open vs. Amsoil EAO11 Oil Filter Cut Open Oil Filter Review

okay so today we're going to look at a couple high-end oil filters the fram ultra xg2 oil filter and the amsoil ea0011 oil filter you can get the fram ultra oil filter at walmart for and ninety six cents and you can get the amsoil oil filter at amazonia.com for 19.60 and these two are going to duke it out could get rough folks when the dust clears let's see who the winner is so let's get started [Music] get your inner here filtration okay let's start with the amsoil and let's start with the box 99 efficiency the ames oil is at 20 microns i guess nice little picture here okay and right here produced in the usa nice flag all right let's open up see what she looks like i got her in some plastic take this plastic off this isn't nice to have it in plastic because to keep it nice and clean hopefully there's no moisture trapped in there but we'll see 25 000 mile oil change interval which i don't see how you can do that without changing your oil but okay here's a date code this is a it's a long one so it's just these numbers right here actually oh four oh five two one c product of usa they got a nice coating on here nice this is a sticker okay she has vibrant holes let's see the o-ring oh this is on here folks i'm assuming this is a nitro rubber o-ring boy it's on there i don't have the fingernails to get it off but break my nails with me i'll try and get it off after that looks like a silicon and drain bag valves metal core lubers and it looks like a bypass valve down below we'll see when i open it up it's got a nice amount of threads on it okay well this o-ring is really on here all right let's try the frame ultra also look at the box dual layered synthetic media provides over 99 dirt trapping efficiency silicone any drain bag valve protection up to 20 000 miles another one i don't see how you can do that without changing your oil but you know i like to change my oil and my filter at the same time i didn't even open this box up so let's see what she looks like okay the frame out just got this coating on the top the dome end and let's see if we can find a date code here usually it's right there a11231 okay and the frame ultra has three six eight inlet holes oh yeah nitro rubber o-ring this one comes off real easy folks you have to be careful with that when you're taking this filter off make sure it don't get stuck on the block see a metal core with holes used to be a bypass valve down below there yeah nice amount of threads and it's also got the silicone handy drain back valve so let's compare these guys uh one three mulches got a little more holes but they're smaller holes so the o-rings match right up yeah the same size frame might be a frame is a little bit taller well you know what folks let's open these babies up they feel about the same weight we'll see let's open these babies up and uh see what's inside be right back okay let's start with the amsoil amsoil weighs 15.2 ounces frame ultra weighs 15.7 ounces okay try the base plates amsoil 6.5 ounces and the ultra 6.3 ounces look at the o-rings you can see the amsoil right here on my right is a little bit bigger a little bit thicker and it fits on the base plate better too now both both base plates are similar in threads you know i don't know the holes like i said they'll hold it i i think there's probably a little more flow with the ultra just two more holes they're kind of elongated holes so they're probably about the same size so i'll give this a tie i guess to tie it up okay and any drain back valves they both got silicone and drain back valves which you expect in a filters that cost this much now how do they fit well let's try the this one works pretty good seems to fit nice it's a little loose and the frame ultra just goes like that it's also a little loose but they're snug when you put them now when you put them inside they get snugging up because they go like that so okay they're both good now the filter media let's weigh these too 4.4 ounces for the amsoil and 6.1 ounces for the freon ultra little heavier let's go let's go actually let's go to these leaf springs they both got stamp leaf springs where the bypass valve down below the amsoil's got a bigger leaf spring see if there's a weight difference 0.5 and 0.4 yeah it's a little bit different and the amsoil bypass valve is set for 15 psi and the frame bypass valve is set for 12 psi that's what these look like they're they're both you know they're very similar this one's not much not much bigger it's a little bigger okay in the cans yeah the can i i believe the can goes to the amsoil because it was harder to open up so i think it's heavier 3.6 2.6 yeah you can i can feel it i'll measure them yeah the amsoil is 0.7 0.5 yeah you can tell there's a definitely a thickness you can feel it okay let's see filter media i counted 41 pleats you got a little sloppy here with the glue guys seam right here it's not even crimped i don't know why there's no crimp on it but it would probably stay together anyways yeah because it's all i know something's like crimp down below there see it oh it's it's crimped together like that but there's no metal per se sitting on like this you know but yeah like i said 41 pleats it's a synthetic media glop sloppy here too and it's rated for 99 at 20 microns nice metal end caps and how about the frame ultra frame ultra i counted 36 fleets it's got a metal crimp seam yeah it's bigger on this side i just noticed that smaller on this side oh no because it goes down there i'm looking through the camera lens here it's messing me up but they don't crimp it very good you barely see the crimps it's like barely crimped on this will probably come off when i when i cut this filter open you can see the difference in size the amazon is a little bit shorter yeah i don't understand that i i would i would i don't know i could it should be it should be crimped if you ask me a good crimps too nothing this one ain't crimped good either but i say we uh cut these babies open my money goes on the amsoil for being longer because it's got 41 pleats what do you guys think i'll be right back okay here they are stretched out and the frame is actually longer than the amsoil the frame is 61 inches long and the amsoil is about 57 inches long i'll show you why in a minute zoom out here okay and you got your seams and both managed to stay together the filter media on this amsoil is a lot softer than the fram but you know they both got the same micron writing so it really don't matter but i took these little samples and the wire mesh or the wire backing sticks more to the front uh to the amsoil and you can see it's got a dual dual layer here i mean both filter meters are very very well made on these and the frame also it's got a dual dual backing or dual dual filter media i should say with a it's got a shiny metal backing but you know doesn't matter they're both strong you ain't gonna rip these these ain't gonna tear you know there's no way they're gonna tear and like the filtration numbers are 99 at 20 microns so they're they're equal they're both very well made and the reason that frame is actually longer is because of the center tubes here the center cores see the amsoil is fatter it's thicker it's fatter it's whiter and here so you got longer longer pleats going this way you know from here to here so that's why you got even though this one has more pleats these are longer pleats so you got more filter media bypass valves they're pretty pretty evenly i'd say you know as far as quality goes there you know the amsoil might be a little bit better base plates too that's pretty equal the can i would give it to amsoil the metal core i'd have to give to a frame because of the holes instead of the lures and there's a size difference you got a little you know these this is narrower too so you got actually got more filter media on the frame than you do on the amsoil now this filter the fram cost 796. the amsoil cost 1960. 19.60 versus 7.96 i think i'm gonna go with the fram um they're both i would say they're both equally as good but why pay almost more than twice as much actually for the amsoil i just don't see it unless you get on your program you still ain't gonna save that much money you're still gonna be cheaper on the am on the fram so i would go with the fram any day these are a lot easier to get to just go to your walmart store and pick them up they always have them so what do you guys think which one would you take well i think i'll wrap this video up don't forget about oil filter friday i open up a new automotive oil filter every friday on this youtube channel so if you like this video please hit that like button thanks for watching and take care [Music] [Music] you
