If budget, buy the Fram with the dark end cap. Or one of these Mobil 1 filter Bosch Wix Gold All of these are efficency rated to a good level and will filter particulate to a better level, thus, less wear.
I change my oil filter every oil change n my advanced synthetic oil liqui moly last 9K
Fram is actually pretty underrated. People see the price and think it's cheap junk, but fram actually has a good filter with low micron rating. Fram actually invented the oil filter. Look it up. I have noticed a couple quality control problems but that's why I look at the filter before I buy it. Never had a problem
I’ve always used fram. They get the job done, and never had issues.
Fram is terrible except their racing division filters like the HP18
My girl and I were out one night in my pickup. 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 5.3L nothing special. Did a few donuts in the local parking lot in some fresh fallen snow. I didn't even thrash, just a couple easy revs for fun. Oil pressure dropped down a bunch. Turns out the GD element inside the filter blew apart and pieces of it were all over inside my motor. Took 4 oil changes to flush it out. Coulda been a lot worse.
used a FRAM on my Escape and I had a weird oil pressure issue where the CEL and oil can lights came on
I lost a good 440 to a Fram that came apart. Anomaly or otherwise, that was the last Fram product I ever bought.
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.
