Oil filter Fram or K&N

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

When I first started to change my own oil I didn't have the proper wrench and just hand tightened my filter on. Drove like 10k on that and didn't have any issues.

Pros: no issues, hand tightened
Mileage: 10000 km

Fram Oil filter

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.

Pros: keeps close to OEM
Cons: body breaking down

K&N Oil filter

I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.

Cons: gets dirty quickly
Mileage: 5000 km

Fram Oil filter

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.

Cons: trash, lifter clatter

Fram Oil filter

Fram are by far the worst brand I've seen. Fram filters have cardboard caps on the element that can come apart. Some of them don't even crimp the ends of the element to prevent unfiltered oil from going through the gap.

Cons: worst brand, cardboard caps, unfiltered oil
