Frame Ultras are actually quite good. The. Orange ran frams are the ones to avoid.
I use OEM or Wix filters only, but my dad has been using fram filters for decades and swears they're fine. Most of his vehicles have over 300k miles on them when he sells them too, so it's not like he dumps them when they're out of warranty.
Fram has different types of filters, the low end ones are the ones that get trashed on, but they also have some good ones that are on par with what you'd get from any other brand. Even if you use the bad ones it'll be fine, you might want to change the oil a little sooner than normal though.
my last couple oil changes used Fram filters for their superior double layered synth media filtration.
Cut open the Fram XG3614 ... barely noticeable filtermagnet deposits on the inside.... definitely another quality filter:
Never felt any substantial difference from the changing of the oil itself but did notice that using a regular Fram filter made for a shaky idle in the '89 Integra I had. Changing the filter back to an STP made the wonky idle go away.
On a side note, I literally had to destroy the Fram Filter to get it off the truck. I can now say never again.
i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil
fram or almost as junk as fram filter they have been known to cause all sorts of oil pressure issues.
i got the filter off, some POS fram
