Oil filter Fram or K&N

you can slap some new wheels on for a fresher look but obviously do this with number 2 in mind.

I have used K&N filter the entire time on my car. Owned it for almost 5 years and never had a problem.

I use my own oil from Walmart. Supertech Advanced Mileage and a Fram Ultra Filter.

I highly recommend getting the k&n oil filter having a socket ready filter saves so much frustration

I use Fram 9/10 times I do an oil change, never had an issue. I have heard more than once that some Fram filters have internal rust from the factory, but I’ve never cut one open to verify this

Ok... so as a DIY mechanic, how tight am I SUPPOSED to tighten oil filters? The box says 1 turn after gasket contact, so that's what I do. It gets pretty tight by the end of a full turn, but I'm still able to do it with my hand (so long as it has one of those rubber grip coated bottoms, like the Fram Tough-Guard). I never have to use a wrench to get it to that point, but it takes about all my hand grip strength to do so. Taking them off is usually requiring a strap wrench, and sometimes it dents/crushes the casing.

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.

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.

Never ever ever ever use these Mr oil change filters, always get a oem,even frams suck.

I refuse to buy K&N after one failed and burst apart on my Honda CB1100 a couple of years ago.
