I use Mann buy quantity get em for less then 10 bucks apiece …5000 miles is the key change your Wix Mann Mehle Hengst before the oil kills the filter as for Fram I used that on my 2002 Honda CRV drove it to 318 k frame rusted out or I’d went to 400k a decent filter will do its job your job is change it a 5000 miles don’t listen to stealership they want you go past it 7500 miles or 15% lol listen to them you’ll wish you hadn’t !!!
I have nearly 25 years of working on my own vehicles and doing my own oil changes.
I use Supertech Fully Synthetic (High Mileage) along with FRAM Synthetic 10,000 mile filters.
Never had an issue, ever. No sludge, zero issues. I’m perplexed at the filter cry boys on this thread. As if there’s not hundreds of filter test videos on YouTube showing comparisons and oil testing results.
Yeah, I've been sticking with Fram Ultra for those longer intervals too. Haven't seen any drop in quality myself, the construction still looks solid when I cut them open, especially for the price point.
I used the ultra synthetic on my Chevy 5.3 for 150,000 kms and had no issues.
I’ve got a 2013 3.5 eb and I change my oil every 4k miles. I do my own changes and use Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 with a Mobil 1 oil filter.
It won't hurt your engine to use Fram. Especially if you change your oil frequently enough and use good quality oil.
That said, there are better built and better filtering options available at similar or slightly higher prices.
It sounds like Jiffy Lube still likes to price gouge.
I have not been to a Jiffy Lube in years. Not since a basic oil change was closer to $20 if you caught them during a slow time and they were holding up their discount sign.
My invoice had the oil filter charge plus another $5 \"specialty filter\" charge.
I’d personally stay away from that orange brand. I’ve had multiple issues with oil pressure with those brand filters
Fran filters are the worst.
Fram sucks, I have always been a purolator fan or OE
