I don't know about a lot of different oil filter manufacturers but a wix and Napa are the same and a good quality filter. Wix makes a lot of different brands and I think they are the best.
I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!
I bought a 12 pack of wix for my 8th gen, never had a problem and I’ve used 11 of them so far.
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.
Had a conversation with a WIX rep and was told their best filter is done filtering around the 5000 mile range.
My father changed a Fram filter years ago and noticed the filtration media became dislodged and looked like if you crushed a piece of paper in your hand. So the filter wasn't doing anything and luckily it didn't get sucked up in the engine and cause catastrophic damage. I highly advise against buying Fram.
Crap quality. I quit using them after I had one start leaking the day after I put it on.
Thin shells, terrible filer media and questionable anti-drain back valves.
My brother had a car with an oil pressure gauge. Put a Fram in and he had zero pressure! Put in a different brand and it was fine. If he didn’t have a gauge he would have blown the engine.
