Oil filter Fram or Mahle

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

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

I use fram filters, full synthetic 5w-20, for the last 150k miles. Total cost is like $25 at walmart. I am right at 210k miles now with oil changes EVERY 5k miles.

Runs good, but burns a quart by 5k miles.

Pros: runs good
Cons: burns a quart
Mileage: 241401 km

Mahle Oil filter

Rating 1.0

Cap was really stuck when taking it off initially. Also required Some force to get back on. When I first just installed new filter I got yellow oil light, still not great. Also noticed oil coming from gap between ofh and cap. And a drip from the top socket end. So end conclusion, mahle oil filters suck

Cons: poor fitment, oil leaks, oil pressure issues
Vehicle: BMW

Mahle Oil filter

After an oil change, the car shot most of the oil out from the filter. I installed a brand new Mahle filter, tightening it snug. After a short drive, it again shot all the oil out of the filter, with the gasket forced to the outside.

Cons: gasket forced out, oil shot out
