Oil filter Fram or AMSOIL

I just cut one of my Fram Ultra open from my latest shipment a few days ago and it’s still the same high-quality build. Nevertheless, the product itself is still the top choice for my shop.

Well I see you went stp which is not as good as OEM. I run amsoil filters and have no issue, I prefer amsoil to OEM because amsoil have tested at a 99 percent particles are filtered out.

Since I was ordering oil from Amsoil I went that route and the filter was amazingly robust.

There's quite a large selection of Fram and Motomaster filters for almost any imaginable make/model.

Only the orange FRAM filters really suck (or at least are the ones that HAD issues in the past). Their mid-tier and premium filters are really good. I personally use their Synthetic Endurance line on all the vehicles I do changes on

Some mechanics refuse to use Fram filters for good reason, they are the lowest quality filter you can possibly use, he doesn't want to be the last one to touch it if something happens.

Everybody has their favorite brands so you're probably gonna get lots of answers. Honestly if somebody else is doing it let them supply their own stuff so if there's any issue it's on them. I do my own oil changes and tend to stick with the manufacturer's brand or recommendation; Motorcraft for Fords, MOPAR for Chrysler, etc. A lot of those though are made by other companies like Purolator or Wix.

But generally speaking FRAM is terrible. A lot of their filters even have cardboard end caps inside that don't seal properly after a while and let contaminants thru.

The 3 best oil filters for your money in no specific order are: WIX, Purolator, NAPA Gold. Modil 1 is also decent quality. I can't recommend the " orange can of death" fram silver and gold or okay quality but I'm not a fan. Just please avoid the orange fram and STP Was decent in the 80's but not worth the money nowadays. Even the Walmart brand (super tech) is at least made by AC DELCO and of okay quality.

I'd rather ram it then Fram it

I used to use fram for my beater even though it had bad reputation. Couple months ago, it finally happened. When I started my car after oil change, it SPRAYED oil not leak from the filter gasket all over my garage floor. Now I just buy a few filter at time at the dealer.
