I use Fram 9/10 times I do an oil change, never had an issue. I have heard more than once that some Fram filters have internal rust from the factory, but I’ve never cut one open to verify this
Fram filters have a lower micron count than other brands, thus why people say they are bad. I would not use them on high performance stuff, but on econoboxes i would. been using exclusively fram on my 2006 corolla since it was brand new and it has 250k miles and still going strong, however on my mustang i only use motorcraft.
I run the ultra synthetic Fram filters , why cus they are made in USA. I’ve had no issues at all, my car has 330k miles bought it with 120k miles
Had an 05 Civic and put 100k miles on it. Used full synthetic + Fram filters every 10k miles. Opened the engine for a timing belt and it was squeaky clean, not even varnished.
I also recently saw one YT channel test Fram and it did really well. It was somewhat restrictive, but it held a lot of dust and did a good job at filtering.
Their high end filters(ultra synthetic, tough guard) are quality filters, but I would stay away from their economy filters, same goes for any other similar filter
I once got a filter without the threads tapped in it. Just a smooth center hole. They swapped it for another Fram but I didn’t love putting on a customer’s car
Yeah, their not the best, unfortunately there the only one besides OEM for my Motorcycle
Fram filters are trash. I bought a fram for a new engine and upon fire up the lifters would clatter while it refilled the filter.
Fram made my oil light indicator flicker every time I turned from a stop.
Fram are by far the worst brand I've seen. Fram filters have cardboard caps on the element that can come apart. Some of them don't even crimp the ends of the element to prevent unfiltered oil from going through the gap.
