I would NOT buy a Fram oil filter unless it was their extended life triple safety whizz bang super dooper model, the plain ones are awful.
Pros: extended life model
Cons: plain ones awful

I would move away from Fram, their oil filters are garbage even their premium stuff.
Cons: garbage, low quality
The OEM filter is not the best in any metric, whether filtration %, efficiency, or longevity. I'd say the OEM A01 filter is regarded as better built too but can be pricier and harder to obtain.
My recommendation would be Fram Ultra XG7317 which is a heavy duty built filter with synthetic media - I happily run this one for two oil changes at 6000 miles before changing.
Pros: heavy duty, long lasting
Cons: OEM filter poor
Mileage: 6000 km
Part number: XG7317
I use Mobile 1 0w-20 and the top of the line Fram oil filter on my 2013 Highlander.
Pros: Top of the line
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
I'd go with a 'premium' oil filter like a Fram Ultra ($8).
Pros: premium oil filter
I got my crv at 148k miles, I use Valvoline conventional 5w-20 and a fram extra guard filter. I change my oil around 6k miles.
Mileage: 148000 km
Have driven from 268,000km's to 388,000km's in the last 5 years. Always full synthetic. I also do my oil once every 6000km , which is early with synthetic, but I want to treat my baby nice. I always get the Fram Full synthetic oil filters - not because they are neccesarily better, but because they have the grip-tape around them, making it easier to remove.
Pros: easy to remove
Mileage: 388000 km
Yesterday I put 10w-40 in it since it seemed like it could help at least a little. It does have a Fram filter on it now.
Pros: helped a little
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 102000 km
Frame Ultras are actually quite good. The. Orange ran frams are the ones to avoid.
Pros: quite good
Cons: orange ones to avoid
I use OEM or Wix filters only, but my dad has been using fram filters for decades and swears they're fine. Most of his vehicles have over 300k miles on them when he sells them too, so it's not like he dumps them when they're out of warranty.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Mileage: 300000 km
