Fram Extended Guard cut open
Ok guys, here are the long awaited photos of the Fram Extended Guard filter. After cutting open the filter with a hacksaw, I discovered that the casing is EXTREMELY tough and hardly flexible. The construction of the filter itself is very tough and durable. I was unable to pry apart the filter itself to get out the steel mesh screen that gives the synthetic media its shape. All in all, I am VERY impressed with this filter and will continue to use it on both vehicles. This came off of my Honda Element, but I also am doing a trial run on my DMax. I was an Amsoil junkie and swore by their filters, but after this, I am even going to say that this Fram is a little better made. For $8 versus $15-$20, I just don't buy into "better protection" and I can walk right into Wal-Mart or any auto parts store and pick one up. Anyhoo, enough gabbing.....enjoy!!

Thanks for the pix and the info!!!
so your basis for how good this filter is, is based off of the fact that it was hard to cut open with a hacksaw? :|Ok guys, here are the long awaited photos of the Fram Extended Guard filter.
