If you have a vw definitely do not use Fram. That shit shrivels up and disintegrates restricting oil flow and given most vw engines use oil pressure to tension the timing belt or chains I've replaced a lot of enigines because of them
Decades ago some of em would collapse and send crap into your oil pan and worse. So I was told anyway; left a bad taste in a lot of older mechanics mouths.
These days they are fine.
I once got a filter without the threads tapped in it. Just a smooth center hole. They swapped it for another Fram but I didn’t love putting on a customer’s car
Yeah, their not the best, unfortunately there the only one besides OEM for my Motorcycle
The rokis are a great value and fine filter. If you want better flow/filtration look for something with synthetic media and a silicone adbv FE9688, EA15K20-EA, M1-104A, PL14460, royal purple also offers a premium one. I run the FE9688 now, was using XG9688 till they removed mesh. 12$ at Walmart best filter I’ve found so far atleast in theory haha. Wish we had more test data on filters and manufacturers gave out more specs.
I've seen Fram oil filters cause this, but in your photo, it appears you have a black Mann/Mahle/Bosch/VW filter on it
The orange can of death is only for 3,000 miles!!! Do the ultra synthetic, 20k mile filter. Haven't had a problem with them. I but in bulk as much as possible.
Fram filters are trash. I bought a fram for a new engine and upon fire up the lifters would clatter while it refilled the filter.
Fram made my oil light indicator flicker every time I turned from a stop.
Fram are by far the worst brand I've seen. Fram filters have cardboard caps on the element that can come apart. Some of them don't even crimp the ends of the element to prevent unfiltered oil from going through the gap.
