Oil filter Fram or Bosch

Fram Oil filter

I always change my own engine air filter, cabin filter, and until recently the oil and filter (I'm also partial to Fram). The cabin filter is sooooo much easier to change that on my first Honda - 1989 Accord.

Pros: easier to change

Fram Oil filter

We ran only Fram (PH-8A) on our 1971 Ford LTD until the 1990s when we sold the car with 230K miles on it, and it had just started a light main crank bearing knock.

Pros: lasted 230k miles
Cons: light knock at end
Vehicle: Ford
Mileage: 230000 km
Part number: PH-8A

Fram Oil filter

I use the Fram Synthetic Endurance. It’s a super high quality filter blessed by all the cognescenti at bobistheoilguy.com.???? Definitely not the Fram orange cans from years ago.

Pros: super high quality

Fram Oil filter

Their high end filters(ultra synthetic, tough guard) are quality filters, but I would stay away from their economy filters, same goes for any other similar filter

Pros: quality filters
Cons: economy filters

Fram Oil filter

I put a Fram in my volvo once... I immediately got valve train noise, it sounded like a diesel. I put a mobil1 back in it and boom it went away. Something about the valve in there volvos really don't like.

Cons: valve train noise

I always used Fram. Once my jeep lost oil pressure, I had to heel/toe to keep the rpm’s up (I happened to be close to my jeep shop) thinking I needed an oil pump. My mechanic asked me what kind of filter. He recommended putting a Mopar , K&N or WIX before doing the work. He told me to never use Fram again, they have (or had, this was 3 years ago) an issue with a back flow “flap” collapsing and restricting flow. I swapped filters, that fixed the problem and I will never use Fram again, even some new premium filter.

Cons: lost oil pressure

I'm perfect fine running this filter at my shop, Bosch can pay for the new engine and my time to put it in and my customer now has an engine with 300k less miles. Thanks bosh for your crappy quality control.

Cons: crappy quality control
Mileage: 300000 km
