Oil filter Fram or OEM Mazda
Ran whatever fram filter they had. Regular, tough guard and the synthetic. Over 500,000 km doing synthetic oil and a fram filter every 15,000km. It’s still going. That’s over 40 fram filters, never had a problem
I use a FRAM filter for my civic.
I use my own oil from Walmart. Supertech Advanced Mileage and a Fram Ultra Filter.
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
FZ is expensive, but not as expensive as a new transmission. Get the FZ.
Not Fram, never Fram, if you like poor quality filters that are rusty out of the box go with Fram but if you like your engine do not go with Fram
I used a Fram filter on my VW and it developed a knocking ticking sound lol. Switched it out for a Mann and it was fine.
I’ve worked on Subarus for over 20 years now and almost every blowed engine has a fram oil filter on it. Easily 75%
Using a cheap (fram) oil filter is a recipe for disaster, because those filters fail internally, and either go into bypass mode, or the internals of the filter grenade, and go directly into the crankshaft bearings.
Stay away from fram as the name is just ruined in many peoples eyes. I wouldn't buy something for good money with fram on it.
