Oil filter Fram or AMSOIL

Used fram for 2 years and not a single issue

Use the right oil from Walmart or whatever and I used a fram oil filter. I used a higher end one then the standard orange box one. Never had any issues.

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but Fram is perfectly fine and the higher line (Ultra / XG) gets excellent reviews. I've been using Fram on everything for years, including a boosted Mazdaspeed Protegé, my Miata, a Lexus, etc. Never an issue. I use the XG line for both my Miata and my daily driver 3, as it has excellent construction and fantastic filtration ratings. As an added bonus, the textured section of the filter means that I never have to use tools and I've never had a Fram seize or be a pain to remove (unlike other brands I've used in the past).

The Ultras are actually good. The grippy rubberized bottom is a nice convenience too.

I use either Mobil 1 0w20, or Royal Purple 0w20. For the filter, I use Fram Titanium. I do all routine maintenance myself. I've got a 2015 SR DC with 388k miles, and have never had any issues. It still runs perfectly.

These oils are only as good as the filters you pair them with.

Filter out of a 91 Mustang with the 2.3 Lima. Filter was a Fram that was about half as long as it should have been, and it was filled with those tar/sludge globs. They were even coming up on the dipstick.

I've seen more aftermarket (fram, stp, etc) filters that are crushed down towards the center of the filter :thumbdown:. They do not seem to flow as well over time.

Never use Fram Oil Filter.

If it has a Fram oil filter on it (filter is located below the coolant expansion tank) then walk away.
