Oil filter Fram or OEM BMW

I've run all my cars exclusively with Fram filters and Quaker State full synthetic oil, and have not gotten rid of one under 225k miles.

I ignore the Car Bros and continue to use house-branded Fram filters.

I used a fram filter for the first time on a recent oil change, synthetic endurance + kirkland 0w20. no issues so far.

I've used nothing but Fram on my 16 forester 2.5i. Just hit 102k miles. I change the oil and filter every 3-4k and have never had an issue.

I have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad

IMO. There are no "good" Fram filters. I grant you Fram is better than a screen door for filtering oil but I'd only put on in the car of someone I hated. Look around YouTube for Fram vs Mann filters. The construction and quality of Fram is a joke in comparison to real filters.

Ewww Fram filter…

The oil filter *would not* come off and just got crushed when I put a wrench on it. I ended up cutting it apart to use the oil passages to turn it, and when I cut it up I discovered that the oil filter was completely empty besides a small cardboard tube.\n\nThat filter looked like a FRAM, but instead of a filter had been filled with a roll of toilet paper.

it only lasted 600km before I had issues with oil pressure.

Don't buy entry level Fram filters.
