I've used nothing but Fram on my 16 forester 2.5i. Just hit 102k miles. I change the oil and filter every 3-4k and have never had an issue.
180k+ miles on my civic and always used fram or some cheap brand with no issue
Subaru 15208aa170 oil filters and mobil1 5w30 EP oil. 6000 mile oci backed up by oil analysis.
I still prefer to use the Fram Tough Guard TH3614 bc the grip tip. Makes it easier to remove.
I don't get the enthusiasm as they also sell the Fram endurance filter which is much better than OEM in terms of filtration.
The regular cheapo orange Fram filters are downright awful, but their Synthetic line of filters actually rate quite well in testing. I have no problem using the Synthetic Endurance filters in my cars.
The oil filter *would not* come off and just got crushed when I put a wrench on it. I ended up cutting it apart to use the oil passages to turn it, and when I cut it up I discovered that the oil filter was completely empty besides a small cardboard tube.\n\nThat filter looked like a FRAM, but instead of a filter had been filled with a roll of toilet paper.
it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.
Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.
