Oil filter Fram or Mahle
Quality air filter changed regularly. Quality oil filter Frams higher end stuff are surprisingly well made for the $.
I recently installed this canister in my 24v VR6: Better anti-drain back valve in it.
I'm currently running a Mahle OC75 filter, its easier to get from Amazon, and it is only slightly longer. I go back and forth between 15W50 in the winter and 20W50 in the warmer months. The 15W is synthetic and 20W isn't.
I used to get cheap Mahle oil filters for my K100 on Amazon for $15 or so
Fram ultra's are fine, but their cheap filters are just that, cheap.
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
When I seat this fram titanium filter in the oil filter housing it doesn’t make that audible click when you push it down and fit snug. It is loose in the oil filter housing and moves around.
Almost any filter is better than a fram.
