Air filter Wix or Fram

I use Fram Extra Guard in my 2014 Civic and have used Fram for decades in my cars. Never had a problem.

Wix air filters cost me about $40 total and took five minutes to do both.

I had the smell problem. Dealer changed the filter, didn’t help. I installed FRAM CF12552 and that took care of it.

FRAM air filter.

I was able to feel a difference right after replacing the air filter with WIX's. I can feel less stress on accelerating, even if there will be no actual hp/performance benefit.

I will use WIX air filters anytime. Even a thin pre-filter layer under filter. Thicker too. Impressive!

I had on in my BRM, it was there when I got it. I didn\u2019t have any issues or dirty getting by. I just had to clean it more often because of the EGR valve.

fram air filter has odor eaters, you can also buy the shit for a home air vent. do it yearly or 6months especially if you park outside because pollen and shit can ruin it. even driving through a work zone

Just received the wix from them the other day myself.

Was disappointed how crushed and uneven the pleats were. Shipping damage? Maybe. The box was in good shape.

I think I installed a "purlator one" last time but it was $16 off Amazon. I feel the build quality was better and honestly I should have looked before ordering. It was installed in 2023 but looked almost new coming out. This is my wife's car and it only gets maybe 5000 miles a year or less on it at the moment.

Next time I'll try denso after the feedback I keep seeing on Reddit and elsewhere for Honda parts.

FRAM makes arguably the worst car products I have ever seen, every time someone brings me a fram filter to use in their car I give them the side-eye like “are you sure?”
