Oil filter Fram or Mann
I used Fram filters in my Nissan for 20 years. It's still going strong. I did oil changes religiously though.
58 years old, been using Fram oil filters since the beginning. My auto oil filters have always been Fram or Puralator, and haven't had an engine failure yet. Not 20 years ago, not 2 years ago. Change them every 3000-5000 miles and you'll be good.
I've run all my cars exclusively with Fram filters and Quaker State full synthetic oil, and have not gotten rid of one under 225k miles.
I ignore the Car Bros and continue to use house-branded Fram filters.
I used a fram filter for the first time on a recent oil change, synthetic endurance + kirkland 0w20. no issues so far.
That was the same response when I bought my first XJ oil filter. Coming from VR6 maintenance, it felt like it was free. I think it was like $3 vs $25 for the OEM VW Mann one.
I have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.
I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month
