Oil filter Fram or AC DELCO

AC DELCO Oil filter

In my area I usually buy my Mobil One full synthetic at Walmart in the 5qt jug for roughly $22, use what I need (my vehicle uses litters ...) My Delco filter is like $6.

Pros: cheap, easy to find

Fram Oil filter

The OEM filter is not the best in any metric, whether filtration %, efficiency, or longevity. I'd say the OEM A01 filter is regarded as better built too but can be pricier and harder to obtain.

My recommendation would be Fram Ultra XG7317 which is a heavy duty built filter with synthetic media - I happily run this one for two oil changes at 6000 miles before changing.

Pros: heavy duty, long lasting
Cons: OEM filter poor
Mileage: 6000 km
Part number: XG7317

I think I tried using a Fram filter on my '99 truck once, and the filter was designed ever so slightly differently and as a result I lost all my oil in a week.

Cons: lost all oil, poor design
Vehicle: Ford Ranger

Fram Oil filter

Wal-mart typically only stocks the Fram filter (gross) for my truck. FRAM (avoid) is PH2. All of them are fine except Fram, unless you are in a pinch.

Cons: gross quality, avoid
Vehicle: Ford
Part number: PH2

I just watched an interesting video on Fram and other filters last night. Part of the problem is that Fram doesn't use a normal bypass spring in case the filter gets clogged, and can lead to starving the engine for oil. It's also just a really crappy filter.

Pros: really crappy filter
Cons: engine starving for oil
