Oil filter Fram or Mahle

I use the Fram synthetic XG7317 filters on my summer car, and I only change the oil once a year given how little I drive it (3-4K kms at most annually). The mesh reinforced filter medium gives me peace of mind, and the silicone anti-drainback likely won’t see deterioration if it stays on a bit longer if I decide not to take it out one summer.

Motorcraft oil filters are crap. Buy the fram Ultra equivalent, they are THE BEST oil filters on the market, not Wix, not K&N, it is the fram ULTRA. It has been researched and tested time and time again by independent studies to filter the most particulates of any oil filter on the market.

Id also pick up the Fram ultra filter

-Full synth Pennzoil oil and any of the Fram synthetic-friendly filters plus the BG EPR and MOA treatment before and after every change.

For filters I use Mahle, if I remember correct that is also the OEM supplier, but costs half what a BMW branded one costs.

Subaru filters are made by Fram/Honeywell, Supertech filters are made by Champion.

Yes and don't buy a orange fram there junk as hell. Filter is held together with glue.

Regardless, I'd advise staying away from Fram. They're notoriously bad.

Fram filters are junk. It's the only brand of oil filter I've ever seen/heard of actually collapsing on someone, and I've seen it twice. I'd avoid them like the plague.

I did that with a 300 CID 6 in an 80 F150.

Fram filter, nuf said.
