Oil filter Fram or Mann
I got a few Fram Endurance filters based on what people at Bob’s say. The filter uses full syn media rated for 25000 mi (whatever) vs. cellulose, and has a good efficiency in catching finer 20 micron particulates.
Did my own oil changes with Fram Filters and Pennzoil full synthetic. Ran Fram air filters too. That's it. Nothing fancy.
Mann is OE and generally considered superior to anything else available other than the Genuine Mann part.
Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tec 5w-40 Oil Change with Mann Filter
Try it and if it works, stick with it. The engine seems to be doing well with that and Fram filters at 8000km changes over 150000km.
It’s not the worst I’ve seen. But - I’d go back to stock and change the Mann filter every few months……
I'd rather ram it then Fram it
I used to use fram for my beater even though it had bad reputation. Couple months ago, it finally happened. When I started my car after oil change, it SPRAYED oil not leak from the filter gasket all over my garage floor. Now I just buy a few filter at time at the dealer.
Never ever use Fram….use WIX or Purolator Pure ONE
Fram sucks. Wix is the gold standard, and Purolator isn't bad either. You can do your own research, but what ultimately makes the difference is the total surface area of the filter medium and the size of particulate it's rated to filter (the smaller the better). Fram filters might as well be a pasta strainer for all that they catch.
