I still prefer to use the Fram Tough Guard TH3614 bc the grip tip. Makes it easier to remove.
I don't get the enthusiasm as they also sell the Fram endurance filter which is much better than OEM in terms of filtration.
Honda filters are just relabeled FRAM Orange can filters. I step it up and use FRAM Ultra synthetic. Same particulate filtration but better quality and synthetic media.
Personally I use Fram's Ultra as it's shown to filter great and allow flow great for the price point from tests performed.
The Lucas product and Royal Purple (or any QUAILTY oil) changed at 3k intervals are great, just make sure not to cheap out on the filter, Fram Titanium or Bosch are your best value in a 20 micron level filter, with the Fram being the higher flow rate of the two.
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
Avoid Fram oil filters, they fit the housing but are very loose
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.
