Fram actually makes the OEM Honda filters. The OEM filter is exactly the same as the Fram Tough Guard, just painted differently. The Fram Ultra is genuinely an awesome filter.
Owner reviews for oil filter
I wanted to get a Wix filter last time, but they were out. I ended up getting a k&n and it's pretty good.
For oil i used : Motul 7100 10W-40 (4L but only 3L required.)
K&N KN-303 Filter
I run Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance (high mileage oil, 75k+), and currently Wix XP oil filter. Car runs great at 67k miles and I have 0 codes.
I use Valvoline advanced full synthetic or quaker state full synthetic, and those oils seem to hold up very well (ive tried plenty of different brands) and you can buy it anywhere for top off oil. I have been interested in using liquimoly though. For filters, i use k&n, wix, or the nissan oem.
Valvoline Extended Performance full synthetic 0W20 and Mobil 1 M1-108 filter every 5,000 miles.
I've used various Mobil1 oil, but usually use the kind in OPs pic. Every other oil change I change my oil filter. I use a Mobil1 110A (I think) which is a larger filter than OEM. I've done this for about 30k miles, and have not noticed any ill effects.
Well she ran out of free oil changes at VW and so I went online to research which oil is recommended to use in the VW and found that just to buy the filter and enough oil that meets the VW specification requirements would cost close to $80. I can buy the stuff to do an oil change in the Lexus for less than $30
I’ve worked on Subarus for over 20 years now and almost every blowed engine has a fram oil filter on it. Easily 75%
Your best bet is to order the proper Mahle filter from your favorite e-tailer and keep it on standby. You could pick up a K&N at Cycle Gear but K&N have a bad reputation in the industry and I’d generally stay away from them.
