    Fram announced the new Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter, which now features an innovative two-ply media design. 

    Fram Ultra Synthetic is a premium, high-flow filter, and its innovative second-generation design features a brand-new screenless media technology. The previous generation included a metal screen in the media for structural support, which has been replaced with a two-ply material. One side consists of a synthetic blend for durable structure and filtering support, and the other, a fully synthetic media, offers higher flow efficiency and superior filtration performance. 

    “We are excited to bring our updated Ultra Synthetic® filters to the market,” says Carl Weber, senior director of marketing, Fram. “The new dual-layer media material provides ultimate protection for up to 20,000 miles, delivering the reliable performance our customers have come to expect.”
