Oil filter Fram or Mobil
Mobil 1 Mobil 1 filter. At 260,000 or over in 3 different vehicles. Never an issue
I use Mobil One full synthetic oil and Mobil One high capacity filters.
I’ve been using Mobil one 0w-16 Toyota filters
Every 5k for my fusion. I buy Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil or Fram filter from Walmart and do it myself.
Anyway I always ran Mobil 1 5W-20 full synthetic with their filters and change every 5k, but have since just switched the Costcos brand of oil. Can get it for a pretty good price when it goes on sale so I just stock up. Reviews have said it’s a good quality oil so that’s just what I use.
These oils are only as good as the filters you pair them with.
I just watched an interesting video on Fram and other filters last night. Part of the problem is that Fram doesn't use a normal bypass spring in case the filter gets clogged, and can lead to starving the engine for oil. It's also just a really crappy filter.
I was just doing research on this because my oil pressure warning started going off, someone had done a flow test and the Fram was one of the worst flowing filters they tested
last time I did my oil, i made the mistake of using a fram filter. When I went to take it off this week, it wouldn't budge. Only hand tightened when i put it on, wet the seal with oil, and I had no reason to believe there was anything wrong. It took me being at the most awkward angle possible under the car and using every bit of strenght I have for it to finally come off. To this point i have never had to use more than halfish strength to remove one.
dont use fram filters, do some research online and you'll see tons of people that have had issues with them.
