Oil filter Fram or Mobil
Usually I get them in bulk from the dealership. Are cheaper when comparing with the aftermarket and are very good OEM filters. When I don't have one available, I use Mobil 1 M-108A and I get it from Walmart when I get the oil.
Currently running a mobil1 oil filter since they have good filtration for reasonably good flow.
Fram TG 7317 as it has all of the qualities that I need and none of the extra hype or price. I use it in my Honda instead of the 6607 because it has a centimeter more of material on it and fits just as well. I change it every other oil change so it goes maybe 12,000 mi and my car has nearly 150k without consuming any significant oil. So I think I'm good.
I use the Fram synthetic XG7317 filters on my summer car, and I only change the oil once a year given how little I drive it (3-4K kms at most annually). The mesh reinforced filter medium gives me peace of mind, and the silicone anti-drainback likely won’t see deterioration if it stays on a bit longer if I decide not to take it out one summer.
After watching some tests videos on YouTube, looks like mobile 1 filters had the best filter capabilities. So I’ve been using that for years now.
I assume that if I get the el cheapo Fram with the paper media, pretty soon all the paper inside will be shredded?
I did that with a 300 CID 6 in an 80 F150.
Fram filter, nuf said.
All that and he put in a cheap Fram filter?
The shop I bought it from refunded me for the fram oil filter and my engine is fine but I’m pretty disappointed in myself for not doing anything when I noticed the gasket on the filter was a little big, I thought fram was just improving their seal bc I’ve had a few filters develop small drips. But just thought I would share my experience I think I’ll also spend a little more and get wix if their performance isn’t better Ik their quality control is bc every filter is sealed.
Got a 2015 scion XB, I changed the oil every 3000 to 3500 miles and I use a mobil1 M1-103A oil filter, I always put it on as tight as i can with a bare hand, every 3000 miles the oil filter loosens up.
