Owner reviews for oil filter

I have used K&N oil filters my entire life and never once had one leak from the nut portion of the filter housing

I used a fram filter for the first time on a recent oil change, synthetic endurance + kirkland 0w20. no issues so far.

Subarus are easy to work on for all the basics you’ll be doing, my only gripe on mine (08 Impreza) is the oil filter is in between the headers but I can live with that.

That was the same response when I bought my first XJ oil filter. Coming from VR6 maintenance, it felt like it was free. I think it was like $3 vs $25 for the OEM VW Mann one.

I was overjoyed when I saw that a toyota-branded oil filter was a touch over $5 vs $25 for the an oil filter for the 997.

I've used nothing but Fram on my 16 forester 2.5i. Just hit 102k miles. I change the oil and filter every 3-4k and have never had an issue.

180k+ miles on my civic and always used fram or some cheap brand with no issue

Fram is terrible except their racing division filters like the HP18

I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month

My girl and I were out one night in my pickup. 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 5.3L nothing special. Did a few donuts in the local parking lot in some fresh fallen snow. I didn't even thrash, just a couple easy revs for fun. Oil pressure dropped down a bunch. Turns out the GD element inside the filter blew apart and pieces of it were all over inside my motor. Took 4 oil changes to flush it out. Coulda been a lot worse.
