Oil filter Fram or Bosch

Fram is actually pretty underrated. People see the price and think it's cheap junk, but fram actually has a good filter with low micron rating. Fram actually invented the oil filter. Look it up. I have noticed a couple quality control problems but that's why I look at the filter before I buy it. Never had a problem

I’ve always used fram. They get the job done, and never had issues.

I would never buy a cheapie oil filter for any car, especially a European car. I have always insisted on OEM or Bosch parts for our VW’s.

Depends on year and where you are located. I would never buy a cheap one, since a Bosch is 10 euros, and I'm not willing to take any chances for 5 euros or less, which is the price difference with a ridex or something like that.

At first I stuck with OEM, but mahle OEM filters got pricey and hard to find. Now I'm rocking Fram tough guard synthetic filters with 5w20 high mileage mobile 1 full synthetic oil.

My car seems to like this combo, time will tell.

I have used Fram, AC Delco, K&N, and Napa Gold. I had issue with the body breaking down on Fram and K&N. I stick to AC Delco so it keeps as close to OEM as possible.

If you have a vw definitely do not use Fram. That shit shrivels up and disintegrates restricting oil flow and given most vw engines use oil pressure to tension the timing belt or chains I've replaced a lot of enigines because of them

I once got a filter without the threads tapped in it. Just a smooth center hole. They swapped it for another Fram but I didn’t love putting on a customer’s car

Yeah, their not the best, unfortunately there the only one besides OEM for my Motorcycle

Fram filters are trash. I bought a fram for a new engine and upon fire up the lifters would clatter while it refilled the filter.
