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.
180k+ miles on my civic and always used fram or some cheap brand with no issue
That's a poor quality filter on there, last oil change must have been at a quickie lube. People will argue left and right about which filter, but the fram gold XG series filters with the grippy paint on them are great, and usually under 10 bucks.
Say no to fram filters. Keep this junk far away from your engines. OEMs like Mann or Hengst are cheap enough.
Fram is junk anyway
The cheap-ass Fram (and parallel quality) filters will split right open.
Last time I tried fram the filter collapsed and blew my oil cooler seals in under 1500mi
