When I first started to change my own oil I didn't have the proper wrench and just hand tightened my filter on. Drove like 10k on that and didn't have any issues.
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.
Probably still better than a fram
I was getting low oil pressure readings, not level, but it was caused by a cold snap and a cheap Fram filter collapsing under my frozen, sludgy 10w40.
I personally would spend a bit more money on a decent quality oil filter, stay away from Fram.
P.S. Use OEM filters. FRAM is garbage.
I don’t use FRAM filters; they don’t stand up to my pipe wrench tightening technique.
