Oil filter Fram or OEM Mazda
-Full synth Pennzoil oil and any of the Fram synthetic-friendly filters plus the BG EPR and MOA treatment before and after every change.
I use cheap Fram filters ($4 each!) Oil always clean and fresh.
I’m almost 60. I have exclusively used Fram on every car I’ve owned and I have never had an oil related issue. If you’re planning on not changing your oil for 10k or more then it may be an issue.
I've used fram oil filters since 2009, never once had a problem. Vehicles ive used them on: chevy impala, honda crv, mitsubishi eclipse cross, volkswagen jetta, vilkswagen tiguan, nissan frontier. Each of which has surpassed 100k miles with 0 issues. I never understood the hate.
I've been using Fram oil/air/cabin filters for 53 years. Never a problem.
I have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad
Fram is junk. Stick with OE/OEM.
No, fram is the worst possible oil filter brand. They are restrictive, cheap, Chinese crap. I've seen them come fresh out the box with gaps in the metal. I've seen videos of people cutting open un used filters and finding surface rust.
Say no to fram filters. Keep this junk far away from your engines. OEMs like Mann or Hengst are cheap enough.
Fram is junk anyway
