I run Valvoline full synthetic 5w30 high mileage formula with a K&N oil filter.
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 ????????
Their high end filters(ultra synthetic, tough guard) are quality filters, but I would stay away from their economy filters, same goes for any other similar filter
FRAM is well known for making cheap shit with poor pleating and cardboard drainback valves. Yes, they'll probably work "fine", but its yet another corner cut by SoA. But why settle for fine?
The original company that made them was bought out by fram and now they are all junk.
Dont use a fram filter.... That will help a TON. There is a reason almost nobody uses Fram except walmart. I wouldnt trust the base fram past 3k period
i had a k&n on my car, immediately i noticed how much lighter and cheaper feeling it was compared to the previous bosch filter i had, also noticed it had a round gasket opposed to the flat one found on most oil filters, but despite this i ran it anyways, a month goes by and i notice my car is starting to leave puddles of oil everywhere, i put it in the shop and lift it up and sure enough the oil is leaking right from the shitty gasket on the k&n filter, replaced it with a bosch and haven’t had an issue
