Fram FE9688 for my WRX and BRZ too. I’m tempted to run two oil changes to one filter change as the filter says it’s good up to 25,000 miles.
fresh clean fill of Ravenol 10W-40 TSI (semi synthetic) with a Fram oil filter
Ran whatever fram filter they had. Regular, tough guard and the synthetic. Over 500,000 km doing synthetic oil and a fram filter every 15,000km. It’s still going. That’s over 40 fram filters, never had a problem
I use a FRAM filter for my civic.
Changing the oil today, I found that the Fram PH6017A seems to be an almost exact match to the one that came on the Sambar during import. The threads were a few mm difference on the new one.
Same on my 1.8l Cruze using a FRAM filter. no light but it built up enough pressure it blew the oil cooler seal. Milage went from 6.5l per 100 to 12.5l per 100k
Not Fram, never Fram, if you like poor quality filters that are rusty out of the box go with Fram but if you like your engine do not go with Fram
I used a Fram filter on my VW and it developed a knocking ticking sound lol. Switched it out for a Mann and it was fine.
I’ve worked on Subarus for over 20 years now and almost every blowed engine has a fram oil filter on it. Easily 75%
Using a cheap (fram) oil filter is a recipe for disaster, because those filters fail internally, and either go into bypass mode, or the internals of the filter grenade, and go directly into the crankshaft bearings.
