Oil filter Fram or Motorcraft

Motorcraft filter enjoyer here as well. Oil wise i treat mine with mobile 1 5w20 full synthetic high milage. (142k, mgm 2004 atm).

When I still had my Vic, Walmart used to have awesome deals on Mobil 1 oil, so I would get the High Mileage Extended Mileage 5W-20 and then usually just a regular Motorcraft FL-820S filter

Whatever is available. Preferably penzoil or Mobil 1. I’ve used castrol, no issues. But all oil is the same ????????‍♂️ I also use the fram filter (the synthetic one that has the steel mesh wrapped around the filter paper)

I dont dont get all the hate for fram. We use them at work on the fleet trucks, ive always used them on my own oil changes and air filters. Like 10ish years of using them and seeing them be used and ive never seen one fail. And same with castrol oil, i use it and we use it at work and have never had any motor issues.

The only time we dont use frams is when we are out of stock and dont have time to order or fram doesnt make it.

The high end Fram Ultra is probably the best filter you can get. It filters very fine particles that other brands simply don't. While not a fan of Fram filters, the high end ultra filter has nothing to do with the cheaper ones and is a very good filter. It does reduce oil pressure a bit, but that won't matter unless your engine is about to die. But as far as actual filtration, you will have a hard time finding another filter that will filter as well as that one.

These oils are only as good as the filters you pair them with.

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.

I have had a Fram orange can of death implode on a car I owned. Dunno how long it was running with Un-filtered oil but the motor never died. I quit using the El cheapo ones.
