Reviews of Fram parts For Business

I did the air box filter and cabin filter myself (Fram stuff).

I use the Fram Synthetic Endurance. It’s a super high quality filter blessed by all the cognescenti at bobistheoilguy.com.???? Definitely not the Fram orange cans from years ago.

I use Pennzoil Platinum and Fram Ultra filters.

When I replaced my own I typically used Fram Fresh Breeze air filters with carbon. It made my car smell good more than anything.

Otherwise, the Fram cabin filters are fine, too.

No, that's not normal or good.Fram is junk - my mechanic told me a good oil filter would never collapse like that.When it does, it constricts the oil and it's not filtering properly. Go with an OEM filter, or go with Mann.I do oil changes every 15k (as per manufacturer) and I used a Fram once, and it looked like that. Since then, only used Mann or OEM and they look the same when I pulled it out after 15k.Do not cheap out on oil filters.

I am in Canada(Quebec) and my brother had the same issue(engine knocking with 42,000km) about a month ago with his 2022 CX5 Non turbo that he bought used last summer. I used a FRAM XG6607 for his oil change. He went to the Dealership and they voided the warranty as it was not a Mazda oil filter, and they said that the rubber gasket of the oil filter was sucked in the engine. The Dealer said that we have to contact FRAM to submit a claim. My brother needed his car asap so he got the engine replaced as it was knocking badly and metal particles were in the oil. Now he has his CX5 back and paid almost $7,000.

Same on my 1.8l Cruze using a FRAM filter. no light but it built up enough pressure it blew the oil cooler seal. Milage went from 6.5l per 100 to 12.5l per 100k

Now, I just replaced the cabin filter on my (new to me) 2021 Kia Soul for the second time in 9 months and the new one which is a Fram, smells so musty and stale when it’s on recirculate, I might just replace it with another one to see if it makes a difference. It literally smells like stale moth balls. If I take the filter out and run it, smell goes away.

Not Fram, never Fram, if you like poor quality filters that are rusty out of the box go with Fram but if you like your engine do not go with Fram
