Oil filter Fram or K&N

I've used nothing but Fram on my 16 forester 2.5i. Just hit 102k miles. I change the oil and filter every 3-4k and have never had an issue.

180k+ miles on my civic and always used fram or some cheap brand with no issue

I run K&N filters and mobil-1 5W-30 at 350k km

I still prefer to use the Fram Tough Guard TH3614 bc the grip tip. Makes it easier to remove.

I personally don’t use k&n oil filters. They filter great but I’m not a fan of their flow.

I personally would spend a bit more money on a decent quality oil filter, stay away from Fram.

P.S. Use OEM filters. FRAM is garbage.

I don’t use FRAM filters; they don’t stand up to my pipe wrench tightening technique.

I agree with the 20W50 and good filter stay away from Fram, Bosch and Generic or Store Branded filters as they will give you the blinky oil light at idle controlled by the Canned Sensor on the right side of the head as you look at the engine.

Ends up the Fram 9584 does NOT have the correct size holes. Both are the same and smaller diameter. It will NOT fit over the base without ripping. However, the Fram 9584XL does.
