Oil filter Fram or Mobil

NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.

Thanks for the quick reply I'm run ing 5w40 mobil 1 European spec oil ans mobil one extended performance filter I change it every 5k

I use Fram 9/10 times I do an oil change, never had an issue. I have heard more than once that some Fram filters have internal rust from the factory, but I’ve never cut one open to verify this

Fram filters have a lower micron count than other brands, thus why people say they are bad. I would not use them on high performance stuff, but on econoboxes i would. been using exclusively fram on my 2006 corolla since it was brand new and it has 250k miles and still going strong, however on my mustang i only use motorcraft.

I run the ultra synthetic Fram filters , why cus they are made in USA. I’ve had no issues at all, my car has 330k miles bought it with 120k miles

I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage on my Z with their bigger filter too. Haven’t noticed anything bad.

Never buy fram oil filters they’re all shit.

I have seen Fram metal filters expand due to factory oil pressures.

Mobil 1 -20 000 miles extended performance – Disappointment from mobil 1. This is same exact filter as STP and I doubt it’s the very best filter here. Although not a garbage they should not misadvertise it for 20000 miles.

Fram is absolutely the worst filters ever. Years ago a motorcycle forum I belonged to cut open a bunch of major brand filters, K&N, WIX, FilterPro (store brand style) Fram and NAPA. NAPA and WIX were the best bang for the buck, K&N obviously the best but also much more expensive. Fram was shocking, all the internals were cardboard, no metal reinforcement etc. Absolute garbage.
