Fram Oil filter

It sounds like Jiffy Lube still likes to price gouge.

I have not been to a Jiffy Lube in years. Not since a basic oil change was closer to $20 if you caught them during a slow time and they were holding up their discount sign.

My invoice had the oil filter charge plus another $5 \"specialty filter\" charge.

Cons: price gouging, specialty filter charge

I’d personally stay away from that orange brand. I’ve had multiple issues with oil pressure with those brand filters

Cons: issues with oil pressure

Some mechanics refuse to use Fram filters for good reason, they are the lowest quality filter you can possibly use, he doesn't want to be the last one to touch it if something happens.

Cons: lowest quality filter

Fram Oil filter

Everybody has their favorite brands so you're probably gonna get lots of answers. Honestly if somebody else is doing it let them supply their own stuff so if there's any issue it's on them. I do my own oil changes and tend to stick with the manufacturer's brand or recommendation; Motorcraft for Fords, MOPAR for Chrysler, etc. A lot of those though are made by other companies like Purolator or Wix.

But generally speaking FRAM is terrible. A lot of their filters even have cardboard end caps inside that don't seal properly after a while and let contaminants thru.

Cons: FRAM is terrible

I have nearly 25 years of working on my own vehicles and doing my own oil changes.

I use Supertech Fully Synthetic (High Mileage) along with FRAM Synthetic 10,000 mile filters.

Never had an issue, ever. No sludge, zero issues. I’m perplexed at the filter cry boys on this thread. As if there’s not hundreds of filter test videos on YouTube showing comparisons and oil testing results.

Pros: no sludge, zero issues

It won't hurt your engine to use Fram. Especially if you change your oil frequently enough and use good quality oil.

That said, there are better built and better filtering options available at similar or slightly higher prices.

Pros: won't hurt engine
Cons: better options available
