I have been changing it every 2800 to 3000 miles with Mobile Clean 5000 (10W30) and Fram filter.
the grey Fram Tough Guard is an AWESOME product. It takes the really silly Fram XG to beat it.
Mobil 1 or Catrol pure synthetic, whichever is cheaper, and a fram filter. have used that combo for 20k miles on the rsx type s, used to use quaker state on the old B18B integra, fram filters, got that thing from 25k miles to 150k miles on that combo.
I used to use Fram oil filters (PH2870A) in my old Mk2. They were so terrible that after nearly 20 years and 253,000 miles I had to junk the car.
i use the same filter on mine, change it religiously every 3,000. never had a problem
Fram is a good filter, just make sure you get the upgraded one for the car. Use good oil change when scheduled and the filter will do it's job nicely.
Indeed, lack a drain back valve in many applications, poor quality, low pleat count, horrible filtration numbers, general poor build quality.
Fram filters do NOT have an anti drain back valve in them.
If you heard strange noises, then you must have been using FRAM
my experience was on my monte carlo ss, the oil pressure flickered and went through the roof, something happened with the filter and almost caused me to blow my motor, i tried another one for about an hour or so and sure enough it happened again. changed to a different brand, worked fine. my buddies dad who is an avid car collector and builds race cars told me after the incident occured that those filters are crap.
