Air filter UGREEN or Fram
I’ve put 125,000 miles on my 350Z and 120,000 miles on my G37S using nothing but $7–$10 Fram air filters—never had a single issue.
Pros: no issues, reliable
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 201000 km
OEM filters will generally run you $30-$60, you can get cheaper ones like Fram as well.
Pros: cheaper ones available
Can confirm Fram CF12772 fits. I have replaced mine twice.
Vehicle:
Ford
Part number: CF12772
2016 ST1, 205k miles, green filter and hood struts. That\u2019s it. Keep your oil changed, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with a little \u201cspirited\u201d driving here and there, that\u2019s what the car was built to do. They handle soo nice.
Pros: handles soo nice
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Mileage: 205000 km
The only mods I ever did was a green air filter, symposer delete, and put in yellow led fog lights. It has only needed a few small things fixed, other than normal maintained stuff like fluid changes, brakes, tires, whatever.
Pros: economic stand point
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Delete the sound symposer and get an aftermarket air filter. I\u2019m partial to the Green filter. Have had it for 100k and clean it every third oil change.
Pros: easy to clean
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Mileage: 100000 km
I swear these FRAM filters have a thicker gasket than others. The OEM filters I could pull out and get back in no problem, once I changed to FRAM, it felt nearly impossible to get flush. I got one side perfect and fought with the other one for too long, ended up giving up on it and left the small gap. The gasket is keeping it airtight, it just doesn't look good.
Pros: airtight gasket
Cons: thicker gasket, difficult to flush
I swapped the engine air filter for a new one. Could the Fram filter be more restrictive than the OEM one?
Cons: more restrictive
Vehicle:
Mazda
And it's a shitty Fram filter.
Cons: shitty filter
I don't know i don't use fram on my personal veh , I see what they do on my work truck cave in hard to get off and air filter sucks in to the airbox and cause the check air filter to come on the dash so I call them cheap man's filters .
Cons: cave in, hard to get off
