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
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.
Honda filters are just relabeled FRAM Orange can filters. I step it up and use FRAM Ultra synthetic. Same particulate filtration but better quality and synthetic media.
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.
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
The cheap-ass Fram (and parallel quality) filters will split right open.
Last time I tried fram the filter collapsed and blew my oil cooler seals in under 1500mi
