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've used them for 30 years and have nothing to complain about.
I've seen Fram oil filters cause this, but in your photo, it appears you have a black Mann/Mahle/Bosch/VW filter on it
Definitely use a black OEM filter, you need the correct bypass pressure and the blues are made by fram which is legit made of trash
I would NOT buy a Fram oil filter unless it was their extended life triple safety whizz bang super dooper model, the plain ones are awful.
I would move away from Fram, their oil filters are garbage even their premium stuff.
I have never liked fram, they always cut corners in one way or another.
