Oil filter Fram or K&N

Cut open the Fram XG3614 ... barely noticeable filtermagnet deposits on the inside.... definitely another quality filter:

I used a Fram XG3614 filter. Since cost is the same and there was plenty of room, I will use the next size up XG3600. Since I use this filter on other cars and the lawn tractor, I dont need to worry about different filter PNs either. Capacity bump should help any DIY'er stuck on 0w20 for 10k miles too.

The Fram Ultra is a great filter and the quality is on par with it's competition.

They have synthetic media and wire backing for strength. Where other filters have collapsed from oil pressure (Bosch) the fram ultras hold together and when I tear them down after an oil change seem to still be good for another couple thousand miles.

The whole grippy-textured surface at the top so you can hand tighten and loosen them like you're supposed to is brilliant.

I also noticed it seems like it made more noise with a K&N oil filter vs Mobil 1 filter.

i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil

fram or almost as junk as fram filter they have been known to cause all sorts of oil pressure issues.

i got the filter off, some POS fram

i know that look! i actually bought a fram filter when i turbo'd my car, it was a new design from their original design. they used to be exact copies of the vw/hengst and mann. design. it had Plastic "caps" and was essentially fused to the filter media. the new ones however are a strange material that is sewn onto the media with a gauze like inner circle. so i used it and after running the turbo for a few weeks i did a maintence change and noticed the filter was totally collapsed upon itself.
