I've been using Fram oil/air/cabin filters for 53 years. Never a problem.
I used Fram filters in my Nissan for 20 years. It's still going strong. I did oil changes religiously though.
58 years old, been using Fram oil filters since the beginning. My auto oil filters have always been Fram or Puralator, and haven't had an engine failure yet. Not 20 years ago, not 2 years ago. Change them every 3000-5000 miles and you'll be good.
I've run all my cars exclusively with Fram filters and Quaker State full synthetic oil, and have not gotten rid of one under 225k miles.
I ignore the Car Bros and continue to use house-branded Fram filters.
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
I found one with tons of metal shavings from fabrication. I wrote to FRAM and never got a reply. This is for a Extra Guard filter, my go to back in the days... no more.
Friends don’t let friends buy fram
Fram filters are awful.
I was getting low oil pressure readings, not level, but it was caused by a cold snap and a cheap Fram filter collapsing under my frozen, sludgy 10w40.
