Reviews of Fram oil filter

I've seen more aftermarket (fram, stp, etc) filters that are crushed down towards the center of the filter :thumbdown:. They do not seem to flow as well over time.

Never use Fram Oil Filter.

If it has a Fram oil filter on it (filter is located below the coolant expansion tank) then walk away.

My '94 Celica with 256k miles never knew it to be true. Good ol' Fram orange is pretty much all I've ever used, though I did switch to the "high mileage" ones somewhere around 225k. That's what's on there right now.

Don't use Fram oil filters. Motorcraft/Purolator, wix, bosch, mann, etc... are good.

Also stay the hell away from Fram and K&N oil filters. They're crap. Go for Wix or Bosch.

On a side note, I literally had to destroy the Fram Filter to get it off the truck. I can now say never again.

Never felt any substantial difference from the changing of the oil itself but did notice that using a regular Fram filter made for a shaky idle in the '89 Integra I had. Changing the filter back to an STP made the wonky idle go away.

i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil

fram or almost as junk as fram filter they have been known to cause all sorts of oil pressure issues.
