Oil filter Fram or Bosch

I use cheap Fram filters ($4 each!) Oil always clean and fresh.

Always used Bosch Premium once warranty was up. Anyway, tech said Bosch is his first choice for a good substitute and probably even better than Honda. I tend to agree.

I’m almost 60. I have exclusively used Fram on every car I’ve owned and I have never had an oil related issue. If you’re planning on not changing your oil for 10k or more then it may be an issue.

I've used fram oil filters since 2009, never once had a problem. Vehicles ive used them on: chevy impala, honda crv, mitsubishi eclipse cross, volkswagen jetta, vilkswagen tiguan, nissan frontier. Each of which has surpassed 100k miles with 0 issues. I never understood the hate.

The regular cheapo orange Fram filters are downright awful, but their Synthetic line of filters actually rate quite well in testing. I have no problem using the Synthetic Endurance filters in my cars.

I lost a good 440 to a Fram that came apart. Anomaly or otherwise, that was the last Fram product I ever bought.

My father changed a Fram filter years ago and noticed the filtration media became dislodged and looked like if you crushed a piece of paper in your hand. So the filter wasn't doing anything and luckily it didn't get sucked up in the engine and cause catastrophic damage. I highly advise against buying Fram.

Crap quality. I quit using them after I had one start leaking the day after I put it on.

Thin shells, terrible filer media and questionable anti-drain back valves.

My brother had a car with an oil pressure gauge. Put a Fram in and he had zero pressure! Put in a different brand and it was fine. If he didn’t have a gauge he would have blown the engine.
