This is a real blow to the purist out there who are "I only use HD parts only." and definitely threw some egg on HD corporate's face. It's the way you handled it and your message at the end that stood out to me. Thanks for that.

For me the surprise wasn't that Fram makes good filters, it was that the HD filter was so bad. Thanks for a great video Jay.

I've been riding for 63 years. All makes and models. I've been using FRAM filters in all my cars, truck and bikes since the 1960's. I"VE NEVER HAD A FAILURE OF ANY KIND! I agree with you 100%! And God Bless You on your "Be Kind to a Stranger" advice. The world needs more people like you!

Demonstration by example. Wise and kind words, no hostility or mocking. You sir just gained another follower!

As a heavy diesel mechanic ( and someone who has never owned a Harley), I have no idea why this showed up in my feed, but I found it very interesting. Doing something kind can be as simple as tapping a like button and leaving a comment to help a person out with the algorithm for talking time to share information like this.

Damn. I've never seen someone drop mic so brutally calm.

This dude.... besides the great video and info, didn't ask for a like or subscribe, like absolutely everyone else does in every single video (I had done both on my own already at that point). That was nice. Then he goes on to give some genuinely great life advice that really can change the communities we live in, and made an effort to get you to really think about it. This is a good guy

I have been mechanic since 1976 and this is the best video about filters i have ever seen. Thank you for making this video.

Excellent video. As a 50 year motorcycle builder, rider, racer of many brands, you info on the filters is spot on. Also, you speak with kindness and that shows in your final comments. Ride safe.

I've been riding for 37 years, Harley-Davidsons for 26 of those years. One of the most irritating aspects of the biker community is the Fan Boys that are blindly loyal to one brand, one creed, one religion, etc, etc. I love this video & the way that you respectfully inform & educate for any that want to listen with an open mind. And, your message at the end about helping others is awesome. Thank you

Jay proves that buying any product based on brand name alone does not ensure top quality and he gave a clear and concise breakdown of all 3 filters to support his opinion. Great video!

I have been using Fram oil filters ONLY for the past 15 years of my 30+ Harley riding years & they NEVER let me down, NEVER had one problem with them! I work on all 3 of my Harleys myself and like it that way. That way I KNOW I got quality parts on my machines!!! It kills me when Harley riders I know with less years riding wanna think they know better. Thank you for proving this one point for me! AND great message at the end!!! Hope you have an AWESOME day!!!

It just amazes me at how well this guy explains things. Unlike many KZfaq videos where the guy seems to be talking just to hear himself, every word that comes out of this guy’s mouth is valuable. He doesn’t waste any and he doesn’t waste your time. As a side comment, is it just me or does he just get better and better looking with every video. I love the longer hair the longer beard. You look awesome dude. Please don’t change that look.

Well I just want to say someone who has been riding Harley-Davidson for many years I am shocked at the poor quality of that filter and I would really like to thank you for taking the time to show this to me and many others I will of course pass your content around and make sure everybody sees it because that is an absolute shocking situation with such an expensive part from Harley-Davidson and I hope someone from there is watching this and they realised that we have eyes as well as they do and I hope they can see exactly what we are seeing too and I hope they can make a simple decision and make a better oil filter thank you so so much it's very very much I am from Ireland so thank

Great information! I’ll buy Fram from now on. What really impressed me, though, is your advice about doing something kind for a stranger. I could not agree more! Nothing makes us feel good like helping someone else. Just five seconds being kind to a stranger can make you walk taller all day!

Thanks for a real down to earth,informative video,no fluff,no crap,just real good advice.something really worth watching.

This was the first video of yours I have seen. I really appreciate your no-bullshit, just the facts, science and logic forward presentation style and content. I did share with a few of my friends. I work in a motorcycle shop that works on anything-but-a-Harley and you have totally changed my opinion about what a smart and well spoken Haley person could be.

I been using fram filters for about 35 years with no problems. I'm glad you made this video as I have often had this discussion with others who don't believe until they see for themselves. I am also aware there was a glut of fake fram filters going around for a while. I haven't seen any for about 5 years but it's easy to spot a fake and avoid it. Many manufacturers have fitted fram filters O.E.

I've used ONLY Fram since I started driving 35 years ago. Never had a problem, never leaked. My car is a 2006 Sienna with 302,000 miles. NEVER a problem! Still runs like new, gets the same mileage it ever has. Thanks Fram!

I'm the furthest thing from a Harley guy but I can totally appreciate what you did here and especially the message at the end of the video. Random acts of kindness definitely goes a long way. Liked and Subscribed. Continue spreading the positivity! 👍👌🙏

You just landed another new subscriber. Not just for the information but also way you pass it on. Thanks! Kindness is infectious!

Thank you Jay for ALL the information you provided. I heard a saying long ago which I try to live by "In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND"

Such a wholesome guy and a really in depth breakdown of the filters

Jay, thank you for taking the time to educate a lot of folks on the quality of filters. I'm 60 years old and grew up working on my own vehicles. Almost every parts store you went into showed cut filters. Usually it was Fram vs. Wix. The Fram always looked very cheaply made, while the Wix looked very well put together. I believe that has stuck in the minds of a lot of folks. I am very glad that you made this video, showing the quality of Fram nowadays. I will certainly keep that in mind when changing the oil on my bike. I especially want to thank you for the very special and inspirational ending of your video. Far too many folks have gotten away from that thinking. I do believe that what you have said can make a huge difference. Hopefully, folks will take your advice! Again, many thanks!

Thank you for doing this kind video for us strangers. Your logic and argumentation line is bullet proof. Looking forward to the video about the manufacturing at home . Ride safe 🤙

Hello. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I must say you did very well in presentation of each filter and hopefully ending the fram slams. Also the life changing advice is spot on! Thumbs up on the video and I will be watching more. Thank you.

Great video. I also love the kindness message at the end. The world has lost empathy and it sorely needs it.

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen! I remember a few years back, people started running down Fram filters and many more jumped on that bandwagon. I have never had any problems with Fram oil filters, and never witnessed anyone else having any problems either. I was always suspicious of all of the anti-Fram claims. Here's some good evidence that my suspicions were correct. I would be willling to bet that it is not just Harley Davidson that is skimping on parts either. There is good reason to believe that many OEM parts are not as good as name brand aftermarket parts. Who knows who even makes OEM parts anyways? The manufacturers sure aren't going to tell you. One thing you can count on though is this: OEM service parts (like filters and tune up parts) are made by the lowest bidder that could meet the minimum specifications. The only thing Fram makes is filters. They have a lot more to lose if it found that thier filters consistantly fail than Harley Davidson or Ford does if filters with their names on them consistantly failed. People consider HD a motorcycle manufacturer, and Ford an auto manufacturer. Most people wouldn't judge an entire bike or car by the OEM filter, even if it failed. They would just say something like "It's a good machine, it just had a bad filter." If the same thing happened with a Fram filter, they would say "Fram filters are junk."

I'm not surprised at these results as I used to work for wix filters and we made the oil filters for nearly every brand you see on the shelf including AC Delco, Mopar, Ford and Fram. Back then Fram filters were made with better components and were much higher quality than even the OEM filters we made. Fram set their standards higher and were a bit of a pain to make because of those standards but I've used them ever since with no regrets and even paid more for them knowing I was getting a higher quality part. It's nice to know that they haven't lowered their standards over the years like some manufacturers have.

My favorite part of this video was the advice. Thank you for sharing your research and kind words.

Thank you,for the eye opening advice and your kindness !

Amazing the differences in OEM parts today as compared to earlier parts. I have always used Fram filters on my cars and trucks, now I will use them on my Harleys. Thank You very much for pointing out these differences in OEM and Aftermarket parts. 'Back in the Day', as folks are fond of saying, I used Nothing but H-D Oil and Fluids, along with the various filters, on all of my rides. Old Dogs can and do learn New Tricks!! A Smile and or a Kind Word costs you nothing, but it can be the Best Gift that person gets for a while. I try to be Kind and Friendly no matter what or where. You never know what the other individual is going through, people tend to react in kind to Decent and Respectful Treatment. 'Give Respect and Get Respect' is a motto I try to live by. The Old Saying, 'Act like an Asshole, get Treated like One' is still powerful today. If someone is nasty to me, I try to be understanding and expect the same from others. The world can be a very beautiful place if you have the right Mind-Set. 'Attitude truly is Everything'.

Further reinforces the fact (not idea, but fact) that most motorcyclists, despite their rough outer appearance, are some of the nicest people you'll ever come across in your life. Case and point with Jay in this video. Thank you for opening our eyes to the reality of the situation, as even with as trivial as an oil filter may be to some. Anything that helps another live life a little easier and aids in doing what they enjoy should be championed, needless to say. I'm looking forward to more vids from you!

Keep up the good work..... enjoyed the video..... great presentation.....your patience and sincerity is greatly appreciated

Well done and thank you! I worked for a large auto parts distributor go or 36 years and am familiar with different filter manufacturing. You are spot on and I'll be looking at my current filter after I replace it and everyone of them thereafter to verify the quality.

I'm so glad you did this deconstruction video. I hope you changed some minds.

Nicely done Jay. I'm a retired designer from HD and I've always used the Fram filter. Now maybe because of your video they might become more difficult to find. Don't know. Good job comparing and showing the inside. Thanks for doing the video. Unfortunately some will stand on that hill claiming that HD is better. I'll continue using the Fram filter and ride with confidence and think of it as a piece of art. Thanks for the advise at the end of the video. Yep, your advise can make a HUGE impact on someone life and you might not even know it.

I knew that's where you were going with this, way to go man, keep up the good work !!!

Great info, I was talkin to a harley mechanic the other day about my new to me 1987 flhtp, he really did not have anything good to say about fram filters. but i have been using them on all my vehicles since the late 80's. I will continue to use them. Thanks again Jay!

Wow man this is honestly one of the best vids I've seen in a while man. Great message at the end and just a no BS product comparison

This video rules! Jay seems like a total stand up guy. Hilarious, informative and absolutely right about all of it..especially kindness:)

That's one of the best videos I've seen lately. I like the fact that you took the time and effort to check for yourself something that would otherwise remain a mere speculation, or someone's opinion, and that you checked the old style Harley filter, to which the rest of us may not have access. I also appreciate the message at the end. Thank you for sharing.

Good information, thanks man. After 42 years of riding I now own my first HD. You just showed me something that I needed to see. And I'm not shocked at all.

Really impressive video. The filters, the being kind. I have been using K and N oil filters in my 04 Heritage. I looked at the box and they were made in Taiwan. Now I want to take it apart and look inside. You are a good man Jay. The world is still full of kind people and you are an example of them. Cheers from Ontario

I very rarely comment on any KZfaq content but this is so well presented and has such a solid answer to skeptics it is refreshing. The end message is icing on this particular cake. Well done and well received.

Awesome video. Especially the message at the end! About 5 years ago, I began a daily commitment to do something kind for someone each and every day.

Thank you for your perspective, honesty and good advice.

I cant add anything that others haven't written already but this is a great presentation from Start to Finish. Thank you Buddy. Ride Far - Ride Fast!

Thanks for the way you handled this video on every level, not shaming or being Derogatory to the people who left original comments, but were informative and straight forward, but the end message earned you a subscriber.

Thanks friend a video with a great message. The world needs more people like you. You made someone's day brighter. And yes the oil filter info was also good

This is the first of your videos I've seen and I am impressed and subscribed. Thanks for putting this info out for anyone willing to look for it. I'm going to do two things today. First will be to go out and buy the Fram filter for my next oil change and second, will be to do something nice for a stranger. Thanks again.

Thanks for the sincere and honest advice during and at the end of the video. You my Friend are a stand-up guy!

The best side by side comparison video I have seen on the subject. That alone would make me subscribe but you're appeal to treat each other with kindness really sealed the deal. Well done sir!

I’ve always used fram and never had issues in fact my last car had 450,000 miles when I sold it so obviously fram filters work and work well. Great video

Jay Thank you for all the information you give us I appreciate you videos. Number #1 you keep it real.

Wow you are on point. Loved that they say do research and found that they have been weighed , measured and found wanting.

I just bought my first harley a week ago and just randomly found myself on this video and you sir have a subscriber. Great info, great moral message! Doing good work

Hi Jay! Excellent video my friend! First time viewer, now a new subscriber! Over 40 years as a mechanic. I have used nothing but fram oil filters on my own machines. For my customers I will always offer that. For the customers that want the oem filter, I am happy to give them what they want too. As a professional mechanic that has run my solo shop over 35 years, your words at the end are truly the key to the best work life I could have ever imagined! I practice that everyday. “Live the life you love, love the life you live” Bob Marley

First video of yours that I've seen Jay. Nicely done man, and that peice of advise is gold. 😎🤙

I literally have both of these filters right now the new Fram one and new Harley 1 I'm going to check this out this is awesome thanks for your work

Last bike I owned was a '00 Ultra. Year 1= 4 stators. That's also the year a Harley rep asked me to leave a bike demo at a HOG rally because I gave poor reviews of how cheaply made the FLT faring was compared to the '89 I owned. Excellent video. Thanks for the info 👍

This is the best research video I have ever watched. This puts the Fram doubters in place and I love your easy laid back video with great information that was spot on. You did a great job and will do something for a stranger. Thank you.

Thanks for the video, I've been telling my bros this for years. HD has changed for years, AMF bought them out then they bought it back and made a comeback. But over the years it went downhill again. Fram filters are good I use them for everything. I'm an Idaho farm boy and I know what fails and what don't from experience. I don't just blindly buy shit for the logo. I've been a motorhead all my life, before I ever owned an HD. I won't go into detail but over the years I learned from men much older than I about filters and oil and I don't want to go off into the weeds doing pro-mos. But I can tell you I have used Fram filters on everything and never attributed a problem to Fram. Oil ad well I have used oil brands that so called Harley experts said will "burn up my engine" and I'm still riding my same scooter today after 30 years.

Best advice I have seen on youtube all year long. Thank you sir, not a Harley fan but subscribed anyway.

Immediately after watching this 5 days ago, I went straight to the link and bought 3 FRAM filters. They arrived today in perfect shape, they cost less than half of a K&N at Fortnine and they're better filters too. Can't beat that. If the seller didn't have a limit of three, I would have bought an even dozen. No harm in stocking up.

A good video. Thanks. It's always nice to see someone who actually finds out the proof of the pudding, instead of relying on rumours. 👍

I've used fram filters since I was 16 ( 1986 ) thanks for your time making this video. ❤️🙏

I’m so happy I stumbled upon this video just in time before I replaced my filter which would have been a HD chrome but now I’m definitely buying the fram chrome.

This is the first video of yours I've seen. I must say it was very good. Nice how you got your point across very clearly & never even raised your voice or got rude. I don't use Fram filters usually (for me it's STP or K&N) but it was cool seeing the comparison. You got a subscriber. 😎🇺🇸👌

This is an EXCELLENT review - and I really enjoyed the dry wit that you delivered along with the great information. Nicely done, Sir.

That was perhaps the best informational video I've ever seen on any topic on KZfaq. Not a wasted word or motion throughout, crystal clear, and left absolutely no doubt when you were through. Extremely well done, Jay. About to change the filters on my and my wife's Harleys. Fram PH6065B all the way. Thank you!

I don't know why your video popped up on my page today or why I clicked on it but I'm glad I did. I'm glad I did though. Your demeanor and approach at sharing useful knowledge is remarkable but the human being I met at the end of your message was the highlight for me. Well done Sir in all aspects. I will share this video with people I care about and I've also subscribed. Thank you for trying to make a difference 1 person at a time.

Right on JC! I started using Fram years ago on my 90 XL 883 Evo when HD kept $ increasing. Didn't know that Frams were made better, thanks. My Fram oil filter was always black. I actually wanted orange like Indian Larry ALWAYS used!

Have always fitted the Harley filter to customers bikes thinking we were offering the best we could, this has me questioning that choice. Also really enjoyed your message at the end of the video, sure does feel good to be kind out there 👍

I don't ride a Harley-Davidson or a motorcycle for that matter but I have friends that do and I have shared it with one of my good buddies from New York thank you for your service.

This is definitely not me coming to this video after installing the new harley filter on my street glide just today. lol a day late and a dollar short. love your channel.

This was a fantastic video! I’ve always used fram filters and have heard people talk bad about them. But you just made a great point.

I subscribed juts because of "your life changing advice." Respects, Rocky

Thank you Jay. Very well done and your advice at the end should be mandatory in life.

Thanks, that was two things I didn't expect. I'll take them both onboard. Liked and left the comment to promote your good work.

Hi Jay, thanks for this great information and comparing oil filters, very much appreciated. And your advice to be kind is really great and thanks for that as well. So simple and yet so powerful!

The honesty in This video made me subscribe

oh, my goodness! This is the best video I've seen for my Harley servicing in some time! Than k you Mr. Case! Very well done!!!

The last two min of the video were well worth the 15 min this video took from my life. Plus, I learned something.

Great video. I have always used Fram filters. Zero issues over the years.

You sir have done your homework. Straight A student for sure, thank you for the information with examples. Look forward to everything you will share. America needs you! New fan Brian from SC 👍🇺🇸

Thanks Jay! I enjoyed your video! I'll try the FRAM filter next oil change!

Damn man you brought the receipts and quieted down some naysayers too. The whole video presentation was interesting and you have new subscriber which is my act of kindness to you. Thanks for making me think a little bit deeper about the oil filter I'm putting on my bike.

I've been using Fram oil filters all my life on everything I have ever owned. Been a mechanic for over 40 years and even though I've put other brands on customer vehicles at their request, I won't short change my own equipment.

Thank you for the advice. The oil filter information was valuable as well. Thank you!

Thanks for your advice and kindness Jay 😊

Thanks Brother!! AMSOIL filter and oil user. Hasn’t let me down in about a million miles total use in all my vehicles! GOD Bless!

This was an truly inspirational Oil Filter comparison. Who would have thought an 'oil can' review could bring a tear to my eye? This one did, and I thank you for that.

Blows my mind that you have 21k subs with only 13 videos....I wish there were more. I appreciate your approach.

"Represent the blood sweat and tears of the modern American assembly line worker" I nearly cried 😂😂🤣🤣 Thanks for the enlightenment

This is the first video I've seen of yours. I've been using Fram filters for over 40 years on all my vehicles, bike's included even my lawn tractor. I've always heard the argument that Fram filters suck but apparently I don't listen to them... Very good video. I'll be checking out more of your videos.

I love you closing statements about being kind to a stranger. As a matter of fact that is part of my life and who I am. I only wish more people would adopt this philosophy on a larger scale. Then like you stated, we would watch this world transform right before our eyes.

Well done Jay. Great video and certainly proves a point. Just because it costs more, it does not mean it's better. Love your ethos about helping a stranger too. Cheers, John

Great video, refreshing tone, and positive message.
