Drive way. Gorilla ramps, harbor freight tools, mobil 1 filter and oil. Gotten 60k trouble free miles so far
I’ve always used fram. They get the job done, and never had issues.
To give you perspective, I do my own oil change for $37 (full synthetic mobile one + filter)
10 quarts of Mobil1 and a Motorcraft oil filter, FL-500s. A lot of the you ger generation love the new Pennzoil Platinum Ultra full syn, but to each their own. I change mine religiously at 5k on my '20 GT, I'm up to 20k miles, it's has the tick but it's sporadic and hardly noticeable to me.
I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic at Walmart for $24 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil filter for $11 ($12 for Mobil1 Extended Performance). So, $35 for a change plus Walmart's Tire and Lube will take the used oil (so will all part stores by me).
I have switched back and forth between Toyota 0W-16 with a Toyota oil filter and Mobil 1 0W-16 with a Mobil 1 oil filter. I have noticed no difference in performance, fuel mileage or metal wear between the two oils.
I am in Canada(Quebec) and my brother had the same issue(engine knocking with 42,000km) about a month ago with his 2022 CX5 Non turbo that he bought used last summer. I used a FRAM XG6607 for his oil change. He went to the Dealership and they voided the warranty as it was not a Mazda oil filter, and they said that the rubber gasket of the oil filter was sucked in the engine. The Dealer said that we have to contact FRAM to submit a claim. My brother needed his car asap so he got the engine replaced as it was knocking badly and metal particles were in the oil. Now he has his CX5 back and paid almost $7,000.
Same on my 1.8l Cruze using a FRAM filter. no light but it built up enough pressure it blew the oil cooler seal. Milage went from 6.5l per 100 to 12.5l per 100k
Not Fram, never Fram, if you like poor quality filters that are rusty out of the box go with Fram but if you like your engine do not go with Fram
Mobil one filters aren’t as good as the oem Mann filters.
