Used fram for 2 years and not a single issue
I drive an average of 100 to 150 miles a day doing deliveries. (Gen 3 2014 Plug In Hybrid) I do use Mobil 1 high mileage (label says protects up to 20,000 mi) oil and a Mobil 1 filters (packaging says the same for the filter) for my oil change. It runs extremely well! My engine feels great compared to the regular jiffy lube oil change! But I just recently came from Firestone last week while getting my alignment done and overall health check. I used to do oil changes every 5k but it was getting ridiculous changing every month and a half paying $70+ and the engine still feels exceptional. So with Mobil 1 HM I changed it every 8-10k miles. This time around, I topped off the last quart from my 5 quart bottle at 10K and will be doing my oil change at 15k. You can say I am pushing it a bit but I feel inclined to really test the Mobil 1 statement. But, back to Firestone, at the 11k miles of running the same oil. they gave me the news and said it’s still up to manufactures specifications and everything was good! It still runs great! If anything Mobil 1 really makes a difference and. But I’ll be changing oil every 8-10k to be on the conservative side, sure saves a heck a lot of money and not waste oil that’s still good.
Every 5k miles. Mobil 1 0w20. OEM filter.
Use the right oil from Walmart or whatever and I used a fram oil filter. I used a higher end one then the standard orange box one. Never had any issues.
I only use mobil1 high mileage and mobil1 filters for my 99
I'll probably get downvoted for this, but Fram is perfectly fine and the higher line (Ultra / XG) gets excellent reviews. I've been using Fram on everything for years, including a boosted Mazdaspeed Protegé, my Miata, a Lexus, etc. Never an issue. I use the XG line for both my Miata and my daily driver 3, as it has excellent construction and fantastic filtration ratings. As an added bonus, the textured section of the filter means that I never have to use tools and I've never had a Fram seize or be a pain to remove (unlike other brands I've used in the past).
Never felt any substantial difference from the changing of the oil itself but did notice that using a regular Fram filter made for a shaky idle in the '89 Integra I had. Changing the filter back to an STP made the wonky idle go away.
i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil
fram or almost as junk as fram filter they have been known to cause all sorts of oil pressure issues.
i got the filter off, some POS fram
