Oil filter Fram or Mann

I've used nothing but Fram on my 16 forester 2.5i. Just hit 102k miles. I change the oil and filter every 3-4k and have never had an issue.

180k+ miles on my civic and always used fram or some cheap brand with no issue

I'll echo others that I've always used the Mann HU 925/4x and they've never given me any trouble for fitment or function.

I, along with other owners have tried many oil filters, but the MANN ones seem to be the best.

I've been using Mann filters, have been to last 9 years.

we could just use the **proper OEM standard** Mann oil filter on an *s engine* to avoid filter collapse

The regular cheapo orange Fram filters are downright awful, but their Synthetic line of filters actually rate quite well in testing. I have no problem using the Synthetic Endurance filters in my cars.

My girl and I were out one night in my pickup. 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 5.3L nothing special. Did a few donuts in the local parking lot in some fresh fallen snow. I didn't even thrash, just a couple easy revs for fun. Oil pressure dropped down a bunch. Turns out the GD element inside the filter blew apart and pieces of it were all over inside my motor. Took 4 oil changes to flush it out. Coulda been a lot worse.

used a FRAM on my Escape and I had a weird oil pressure issue where the CEL and oil can lights came on

I lost a good 440 to a Fram that came apart. Anomaly or otherwise, that was the last Fram product I ever bought.
