Oil filter Fram or Mobil
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.
The regular cheapo orange Fram filters are downright awful, but their Synthetic line of filters actually rate quite well in testing. I have no problem using the Synthetic Endurance filters in my cars.
Ewww Fram filter…
The oil filter *would not* come off and just got crushed when I put a wrench on it. I ended up cutting it apart to use the oil passages to turn it, and when I cut it up I discovered that the oil filter was completely empty besides a small cardboard tube.\n\nThat filter looked like a FRAM, but instead of a filter had been filled with a roll of toilet paper.
it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
