Superior Engine Protection
Advanced features built into the FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter allow for superior engine protection, regardless of how tough the conditions. First, there is its filter media. Cellulose is the most commonly used filter material utilized in oil filters. The strength of this natural material is that it presents a random and irregular field of fibers to motor oil, trapping dirt, yet allowing oil to pass though. But as good a filtering agent as cellulose is, by itself, on average cellulose can only deliver about 80% dirt-trapping efficiency. Like many FRAM oil filters, and some competing models, the Tough Guard Oil Filter improves on the strengths of cellulose by blending it with microscopic glass synthetic fibers. Together this composite filtering media creates small windows that are able to trap the smaller dirt particles missed by other oil filters, without affecting the flow of oil. What sets the Tough Guard apart is that it uses a 9% higher level of synthetic media, providing 6 times more engine protection than the average of leading economy oil filters. This increase in dirt-trapping efficiency and its dirt-holding capacity allows it to achieve an unsurpassed 99% dirt trapping efficiency rate.
In addition to filtering media designed to protect engines while they run, the FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter also works to protect your engine when the your car is idle via its built-in silicone anti-drainback valve. Designed to hold a reserve of oil in the filter, this features helps protect the engine during startups by allowing the engine access clean, filtered oil at a time when its components may be lacking it, and need it most.
Quick and Easy Installation with "Sure Grip"
The FRAM Tough Guard Oil Filter utilizes the FRAM exclusive no-slip Sure Grip feature. This textured application to the top of the filter makes it much easier to grip during installation and removal - even with oily hands.

Why LaFerrari was designed in Maranello
Tue, 02 Apr 2013Love it or hate it, the design of LaFerrari comes completely from one place— Maranello. The most powerful street-legal Ferrari ever made was styled entirely in-house, which means that for the first time in recent memory, a Ferrari wasn't crafted by Pininfarina. An Italian legend in its own right, the design house has created nearly 200 Ferraris dating to the early 1950s.

True, there is, in the current iteration, the Panda 100hp which is a long way from basic and probably the most fun there is to be had on four wheels in a city. But even the Panda 100hp keeps it simple.
