The oil filter *would not* come off and just got crushed when I put a wrench on it. I ended up cutting it apart to use the oil passages to turn it, and when I cut it up I discovered that the oil filter was completely empty besides a small cardboard tube.\n\nThat filter looked like a FRAM, but instead of a filter had been filled with a roll of toilet paper.
Cons: completely empty, filled with toilet paper
-Full synth Pennzoil oil and any of the Fram synthetic-friendly filters plus the BG EPR and MOA treatment before and after every change.
Pros: synthetic-friendly filters
Vehicle:

Mileage: 310607 km
it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.
Cons: short lifespan, oil pressure issues
Mileage: 600 km
I use cheap Fram filters ($4 each!) Oil always clean and fresh.
Pros: oil always clean, fresh
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
Cons: poor quality
They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.
Cons: super cheap, pressure issues
I have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad
Pros: no issue with higher end
Cons: budget filters atrociously bad
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month
Cons: blew apart, loosened
I’m almost 60. I have exclusively used Fram on every car I’ve owned and I have never had an oil related issue. If you’re planning on not changing your oil for 10k or more then it may be an issue.
Pros: no oil related issues, reliable
