Oil filter Fram or Hengst

If budget, buy the Fram with the dark end cap. Or one of these Mobil 1 filter Bosch Wix Gold All of these are efficency rated to a good level and will filter particulate to a better level, thus, less wear.

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 have had good results with the Hengst. Recently ran a Hengst to 20,000 miles. It’s was a bit crispy but was doing just fine.

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

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.

The frame filters are fine assuming you change your oil every 5k miles or 4 ish months

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.

I found one with tons of metal shavings from fabrication. I wrote to FRAM and never got a reply. This is for a Extra Guard filter, my go to back in the days... no more.
