Fram is actually pretty underrated. People see the price and think it's cheap junk, but fram actually has a good filter with low micron rating. Fram actually invented the oil filter. Look it up. I have noticed a couple quality control problems but that's why I look at the filter before I buy it. Never had a problem
Pros: good filter, low micron rating
Cons: quality control problems
FRAM air filter.
The only oil l could find that had the right certifications was the Fram 0W-30 at advanced auto parts.
Pros: right certifications
Changing the oil today, I found that the Fram PH6017A seems to be an almost exact match to the one that came on the Sambar during import. The threads were a few mm difference on the new one.
Cons: threads few mm difference
Vehicle:
Subaru Sambar
Part number: PH6017A
Crap quality. I quit using them after I had one start leaking the day after I put it on.
Cons: crap quality, started leaking
Thin shells, terrible filer media and questionable anti-drain back valves.
Cons: thin shells, terrible media, questionable valves
My brother had a car with an oil pressure gauge. Put a Fram in and he had zero pressure! Put in a different brand and it was fine. If he didn’t have a gauge he would have blown the engine.
Cons: zero oil pressure, engine almost blown
I found one with tons of metal shavings from fabrication. I wrote to FRAM and never got a reply. This is for a Extra Guard filter, my go to back in the days... no more.
Cons: metal shavings, no reply
Friends don’t let friends buy fram
Cons: poor quality
