Was the ship using genuine Fram filters on their engines?
Could be the problem if they weren’t. IMO.

You can pay them now or you can pay them later. LOL

On the way back to CONUS the engineers couldn’t give me both boilers and full power to out run a very powerful hurricane. So I got hit with that.

I used Fram until reviews showed Pure 1 was superior.

Au contraire!

Fram (Allied Signal) ended up buying me a new engine for my Porsche because of their crappy filters....

When Allied Signal bought Fram, the component quality went from “adequate” to “how cheap can we get?”.

I’m not sure if the quality has improved, but I’ll never buy another Fram product after an oil filter failure cost me the original engine in my Mark III. I learned about the lowering of component grade AFTER the fact.
