I second the motion. Get rid of the Fram! As a Saab Mastertech, I've seen many problems associated with Fram and other poor quality oil filters. The worst scenario was a number of years ago with a "Lee Maxi-filter" (I don't know if these are made anymore), on a new Ford truck. On one of the first sub-zero temperature days of the season, the truck was towed in with NO oil pressure! Replacing the filter with an OEM filter brought back the oil pressure and no damage to the engine was apparent. The AC PF-53 and Saab filters are one in the same, other than the outside markings. I prefer to use the AC PF-13, as it is larger in diameter, just like the OEM filter that came on your OG 900, and gives a slightly better margin of engine protection due to it's larger size. AC filters are generally available at K-marts for less than $3.00. On engines using synthetic oil I spend the extra bucks and use only Amsoil filters (SDF-42 for the large diameter and SDF-57 for the smaller (current oem) diameter. E-mail with any questions. Bill
