There's quite a large selection of Fram and Motomaster filters for almost any imaginable make/model.
i DIY or pay a subaru specialty shop for a change, we both use motul, genuine filter, crush ring, just they do oil samples for me cause i dont feel like that hassle
I got a few Fram Endurance filters based on what people at Bob’s say. The filter uses full syn media rated for 25000 mi (whatever) vs. cellulose, and has a good efficiency in catching finer 20 micron particulates.
Did my own oil changes with Fram Filters and Pennzoil full synthetic. Ran Fram air filters too. That's it. Nothing fancy.
Try it and if it works, stick with it. The engine seems to be doing well with that and Fram filters at 8000km changes over 150000km.
Fwiw, a lot of bmw guys have problems with certain filters that are slightly too long for the housing and compress/bow out. I think fram was the culprit on the n54.
Fram sucks, I have always been a purolator fan or OE
Fram is garbage
Some mechanics refuse to use Fram filters for good reason, they are the lowest quality filter you can possibly use, he doesn't want to be the last one to touch it if something happens.
Everybody has their favorite brands so you're probably gonna get lots of answers. Honestly if somebody else is doing it let them supply their own stuff so if there's any issue it's on them. I do my own oil changes and tend to stick with the manufacturer's brand or recommendation; Motorcraft for Fords, MOPAR for Chrysler, etc. A lot of those though are made by other companies like Purolator or Wix.
But generally speaking FRAM is terrible. A lot of their filters even have cardboard end caps inside that don't seal properly after a while and let contaminants thru.
