I use Fram 9/10 times I do an oil change, never had an issue. I have heard more than once that some Fram filters have internal rust from the factory, but I’ve never cut one open to verify this
Owner reviews for oil filter
I run Valvoline full synthetic 5w30 high mileage formula with a K&N oil filter.
I bought a 10 Wix filters off of Rockauto. Part #: 51394. Each one was $4.80 and shipping was $10. Came out to be roughly the same price as buying OEM ones from a dealership off of eBay and I would rather use Wix ones.
Fram filters have a lower micron count than other brands, thus why people say they are bad. I would not use them on high performance stuff, but on econoboxes i would. been using exclusively fram on my 2006 corolla since it was brand new and it has 250k miles and still going strong, however on my mustang i only use motorcraft.
I run the ultra synthetic Fram filters , why cus they are made in USA. I’ve had no issues at all, my car has 330k miles bought it with 120k miles
Had an 05 Civic and put 100k miles on it. Used full synthetic + Fram filters every 10k miles. Opened the engine for a timing belt and it was squeaky clean, not even varnished.
I also recently saw one YT channel test Fram and it did really well. It was somewhat restrictive, but it held a lot of dust and did a good job at filtering.
I use the cheapest brand on my daily and no issues after 160k miles ????????
I supplied my own oil filter, a Wix 57002 for my 2020 6.
I refuse to buy K&N after one failed and burst apart on my Honda CB1100 a couple of years ago.
The oil on my wife’s crosstrek leaked and had to get it replaced. Guess there’s a known issue with them
