Oil filter Fram or AMSOIL

I don't get the enthusiasm as they also sell the Fram endurance filter which is much better than OEM in terms of filtration.

Honda filters are just relabeled FRAM Orange can filters. I step it up and use FRAM Ultra synthetic. Same particulate filtration but better quality and synthetic media.

Personally I use Fram's Ultra as it's shown to filter great and allow flow great for the price point from tests performed.

The Lucas product and Royal Purple (or any QUAILTY oil) changed at 3k intervals are great, just make sure not to cheap out on the filter, Fram Titanium or Bosch are your best value in a 20 micron level filter, with the Fram being the higher flow rate of the two.

The frame filters are fine assuming you change your oil every 5k miles or 4 ish months

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.

Same on my 1.8l Cruze using a FRAM filter. no light but it built up enough pressure it blew the oil cooler seal. Milage went from 6.5l per 100 to 12.5l per 100k

Not Fram, never Fram, if you like poor quality filters that are rusty out of the box go with Fram but if you like your engine do not go with Fram

Just had an amsoil filter fail at the gasket. The inner diameter was too small causing a crease in the gasket that leaked after 4 months use. Nearly ran me dry.

I used a Fram filter on my VW and it developed a knocking ticking sound lol. Switched it out for a Mann and it was fine.
