Fram has different types of filters, the low end ones are the ones that get trashed on, but they also have some good ones that are on par with what you'd get from any other brand. Even if you use the bad ones it'll be fine, you might want to change the oil a little sooner than normal though.
my last couple oil changes used Fram filters for their superior double layered synth media filtration.
Cut open the Fram XG3614 ... barely noticeable filtermagnet deposits on the inside.... definitely another quality filter:
I used a Fram XG3614 filter. Since cost is the same and there was plenty of room, I will use the next size up XG3600. Since I use this filter on other cars and the lawn tractor, I dont need to worry about different filter PNs either. Capacity bump should help any DIY'er stuck on 0w20 for 10k miles too.
Fram… even used the orange can of death on my old Toyotas without issues.
Never use Fram Oil Filter.
If it has a Fram oil filter on it (filter is located below the coolant expansion tank) then walk away.
Don't use Fram oil filters. Motorcraft/Purolator, wix, bosch, mann, etc... are good.
Also stay the hell away from Fram and K&N oil filters. They're crap. Go for Wix or Bosch.
On a side note, I literally had to destroy the Fram Filter to get it off the truck. I can now say never again.
