Oil filter Fram or AC DELCO

Fram actually makes the OEM Honda filters. The OEM filter is exactly the same as the Fram Tough Guard, just painted differently. The Fram Ultra is genuinely an awesome filter.

I always change my own engine air filter, cabin filter, and until recently the oil and filter (I'm also partial to Fram). The cabin filter is sooooo much easier to change that on my first Honda - 1989 Accord.

We ran only Fram (PH-8A) on our 1971 Ford LTD until the 1990s when we sold the car with 230K miles on it, and it had just started a light main crank bearing knock.

I use the Fram Synthetic Endurance. It’s a super high quality filter blessed by all the cognescenti at bobistheoilguy.com.???? Definitely not the Fram orange cans from years ago.

Changing the oil today, I found that the Fram PH6017A seems to be an almost exact match to the one that came on the Sambar during import. The threads were a few mm difference on the new one.

I agree with the 20W50 and good filter stay away from Fram, Bosch and Generic or Store Branded filters as they will give you the blinky oil light at idle controlled by the Canned Sensor on the right side of the head as you look at the engine.

Ends up the Fram 9584 does NOT have the correct size holes. Both are the same and smaller diameter. It will NOT fit over the base without ripping. However, the Fram 9584XL does.

I do tend to be picky about filters though. I like Wix, OEM AC Delco, and Mobil 1. I will avoid Fram like the plague.

No, that's not normal or good.Fram is junk - my mechanic told me a good oil filter would never collapse like that.When it does, it constricts the oil and it's not filtering properly. Go with an OEM filter, or go with Mann.I do oil changes every 15k (as per manufacturer) and I used a Fram once, and it looked like that. Since then, only used Mann or OEM and they look the same when I pulled it out after 15k.Do not cheap out on oil filters.

I am in Canada(Quebec) and my brother had the same issue(engine knocking with 42,000km) about a month ago with his 2022 CX5 Non turbo that he bought used last summer. I used a FRAM XG6607 for his oil change. He went to the Dealership and they voided the warranty as it was not a Mazda oil filter, and they said that the rubber gasket of the oil filter was sucked in the engine. The Dealer said that we have to contact FRAM to submit a claim. My brother needed his car asap so he got the engine replaced as it was knocking badly and metal particles were in the oil. Now he has his CX5 back and paid almost $7,000.
