Reviews of Fram oil filter

Yeah, I've been sticking with Fram Ultra for those longer intervals too. Haven't seen any drop in quality myself, the construction still looks solid when I cut them open, especially for the price point.

The 3 best oil filters for your money in no specific order are: WIX, Purolator, NAPA Gold. Modil 1 is also decent quality. I can't recommend the " orange can of death" fram silver and gold or okay quality but I'm not a fan. Just please avoid the orange fram and STP Was decent in the 80's but not worth the money nowadays. Even the Walmart brand (super tech) is at least made by AC DELCO and of okay quality.

Only the orange FRAM filters really suck (or at least are the ones that HAD issues in the past). Their mid-tier and premium filters are really good. I personally use their Synthetic Endurance line on all the vehicles I do changes on

I'd rather ram it then Fram it

I used to use fram for my beater even though it had bad reputation. Couple months ago, it finally happened. When I started my car after oil change, it SPRAYED oil not leak from the filter gasket all over my garage floor. Now I just buy a few filter at time at the dealer.

Never ever use Fram….use WIX or Purolator Pure ONE

Fram sucks. Wix is the gold standard, and Purolator isn't bad either. You can do your own research, but what ultimately makes the difference is the total surface area of the filter medium and the size of particulate it's rated to filter (the smaller the better). Fram filters might as well be a pasta strainer for all that they catch.

I used the ultra synthetic on my Chevy 5.3 for 150,000 kms and had no issues.

I just cut one of my Fram Ultra open from my latest shipment a few days ago and it’s still the same high-quality build. Nevertheless, the product itself is still the top choice for my shop.

Fwiw, a lot of bmw guys have problems with certain filters that are slightly too long for the housing and compress/bow out. I think fram was the culprit on the n54.
