Reviews of Fram oil filter

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but Fram is perfectly fine and the higher line (Ultra / XG) gets excellent reviews. I've been using Fram on everything for years, including a boosted Mazdaspeed Protegé, my Miata, a Lexus, etc. Never an issue. I use the XG line for both my Miata and my daily driver 3, as it has excellent construction and fantastic filtration ratings. As an added bonus, the textured section of the filter means that I never have to use tools and I've never had a Fram seize or be a pain to remove (unlike other brands I've used in the past).

The Ultras are actually good. The grippy rubberized bottom is a nice convenience too.

I use either Mobil 1 0w20, or Royal Purple 0w20. For the filter, I use Fram Titanium. I do all routine maintenance myself. I've got a 2015 SR DC with 388k miles, and have never had any issues. It still runs perfectly.

These oils are only as good as the filters you pair them with.

When I seat this fram titanium filter in the oil filter housing it doesn’t make that audible click when you push it down and fit snug. It is loose in the oil filter housing and moves around.

Almost any filter is better than a fram.

Don’t use Fram filters they are trash

Quality air filter changed regularly. Quality oil filter Frams higher end stuff are surprisingly well made for the $.

I do not know very many mechanics or race people who swear by wix or fram on cars that are mechanically more complex. i.e. high compression motors, vvt, etc.

Definitely use a black OEM filter, you need the correct bypass pressure and the blues are made by fram which is legit made of trash
