Whatever is available. Preferably penzoil or Mobil 1. I’ve used castrol, no issues. But all oil is the same ????????♂️ I also use the fram filter (the synthetic one that has the steel mesh wrapped around the filter paper)
I dont dont get all the hate for fram. We use them at work on the fleet trucks, ive always used them on my own oil changes and air filters. Like 10ish years of using them and seeing them be used and ive never seen one fail. And same with castrol oil, i use it and we use it at work and have never had any motor issues.
The only time we dont use frams is when we are out of stock and dont have time to order or fram doesnt make it.
The high end Fram Ultra is probably the best filter you can get. It filters very fine particles that other brands simply don't. While not a fan of Fram filters, the high end ultra filter has nothing to do with the cheaper ones and is a very good filter. It does reduce oil pressure a bit, but that won't matter unless your engine is about to die. But as far as actual filtration, you will have a hard time finding another filter that will filter as well as that one.
I used to go for the Fram Ultra Synthetic (not at all the same as the cheap Frams), but lately I've been getting Bosch or AC Delco filters from the internet, as they're decent quality and very inexpensive (1/3 the price of a Fram Ultra).
Decades ago some of em would collapse and send crap into your oil pan and worse. So I was told anyway; left a bad taste in a lot of older mechanics mouths.
These days they are fine.
I always used Fram. Once my jeep lost oil pressure, I had to heel/toe to keep the rpm’s up (I happened to be close to my jeep shop) thinking I needed an oil pump. My mechanic asked me what kind of filter. He recommended putting a Mopar , K&N or WIX before doing the work. He told me to never use Fram again, they have (or had, this was 3 years ago) an issue with a back flow “flap” collapsing and restricting flow. I swapped filters, that fixed the problem and I will never use Fram again, even some new premium filter.
Never ever ever ever use these Mr oil change filters, always get a oem,even frams suck.
FRAM is well known for making cheap shit with poor pleating and cardboard drainback valves. Yes, they'll probably work "fine", but its yet another corner cut by SoA. But why settle for fine?
The original company that made them was bought out by fram and now they are all junk.
Dont use a fram filter.... That will help a TON. There is a reason almost nobody uses Fram except walmart. I wouldnt trust the base fram past 3k period
