Oil filter Fram or Mobil

I've had my truck nearly 30 years now and DIY'd DOZENS of oil changes. I've not once used an OEM filter. I use whatever's on sale, preferably K&N or Mobil 1, but often Fram or Purolator or whatever was on sale.

I can count on zero hands the number of times the brand of filter has affected my Taco.

I’ve been using Fram oil filters since the 90’s. I Used Fram filters on my original owner 2004 Honda Odyssey after warranty period was up for 20 years! That engine had 307,000 miles on it with zero issues when I got rid of it. Trans failed twice before engine did. My 2001 Maxima got 238,000 using Fram filters. That car got sold because of a rear main seal leak and other issues not engine related.  I used them in my 71’ Challenger and 87’ turbo T Buick WE4 (granted they never saw more than 300 miles during an oil change). I’ve never had a problem with them.

If budget, buy the Fram with the dark end cap. Or one of these Mobil 1 filter Bosch Wix Gold All of these are efficency rated to a good level and will filter particulate to a better level, thus, less wear.

if your car is stock, you don't have to worry too much about the oil and filter. i think last time i went with a mobile 1 filter and their extended performance oil but I have used other brands too. any OEM filter will be fine.

I prefer mobil 1 or wix filters, mobil 1 or castrol oil usually

Probably still better than a fram

I was getting low oil pressure readings, not level, but it was caused by a cold snap and a cheap Fram filter collapsing under my frozen, sludgy 10w40.

I personally would spend a bit more money on a decent quality oil filter, stay away from Fram.

P.S. Use OEM filters. FRAM is garbage.

I don’t use FRAM filters; they don’t stand up to my pipe wrench tightening technique.
