Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
 

Well... it's been a week. I have to say there is a noticable difference. I don't have nearly the start up clatter and in particular the slow oil pressure build up when hot.

Based on my experience at least, to date, I would have to say the Fram TG3985 is superior in this regard. Glad I bought 2 right away. May have to stock up.

It just appears that the quality control on the Bosch is not up to snuff.

Thanks for the info Hans. We can add Rock Auto as a confirmed source for the TG3985 as well.

I make the billet covers for the oil filters so that would take care of the ugly looking filter :hello:

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
 

I must have good luck with Bosch filters, because neither the one I took off or the new one I installed it about a month ago caused clatter in the chains. I put one of rgfllamas repro AC Delco decals on it and its looking good!!

Poser? Me or the filter?

Using an AC sticker on a Bosch filter :icon_scra What do you think. Lighten up as I did put the laughing icon on. It's all good :handshak:

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
 

Cool! We're good. :handshak: I thought thats what you meant. Love your Black '95 Z. I had a Black Beige '95 Z a few years ago...wish it I had it back.

The AC decal that rfgllamas makes gives the filter more of an OEM look under the hood, and the Bosch decal peels right off.

Re: Fram TG3985 filters found
 

I'd like to get my hands on a few of those stickers for my bosch filters.

Contact info?

Thanks, I really like my Black 95 but mine has the grey and sure would have loved the beige instead. :hello:
