I ignore the Car Bros and continue to use house-branded Fram filters.
Pros: continues to use
I used a fram filter for the first time on a recent oil change, synthetic endurance + kirkland 0w20. no issues so far.
Pros: no issues
I've used nothing but Fram on my 16 forester 2.5i. Just hit 102k miles. I change the oil and filter every 3-4k and have never had an issue.
Pros: no issues, long-term reliability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 164153 km
I use fram filters, full synthetic 5w-20, for the last 150k miles. Total cost is like $25 at walmart. I am right at 210k miles now with oil changes EVERY 5k miles.
Runs good, but burns a quart by 5k miles.
Pros: runs good
Cons: burns a quart
Mileage: 241401 km
I swapped the engine air filter for a new one. Could the Fram filter be more restrictive than the OEM one?
Cons: more restrictive
Vehicle:
Mazda
The shop I bought it from refunded me for the fram oil filter and my engine is fine but I’m pretty disappointed in myself for not doing anything when I noticed the gasket on the filter was a little big, I thought fram was just improving their seal bc I’ve had a few filters develop small drips. But just thought I would share my experience I think I’ll also spend a little more and get wix if their performance isn’t better Ik their quality control is bc every filter is sealed.
Cons: filters develop small drips
Fram is junk. Stick with OE/OEM.
Pros: Stick with OE/OEM
Cons: Fram is junk
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
No, fram is the worst possible oil filter brand. They are restrictive, cheap, Chinese crap. I've seen them come fresh out the box with gaps in the metal. I've seen videos of people cutting open un used filters and finding surface rust.
Pros: Autozone sells stp filters
Cons: restrictive, cheap, Chinese crap
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Say no to fram filters. Keep this junk far away from your engines. OEMs like Mann or Hengst are cheap enough.
Pros: OEMs are cheap enough
Cons: junk, keep far away
