Fram TG 7317 as it has all of the qualities that I need and none of the extra hype or price. I use it in my Honda instead of the 6607 because it has a centimeter more of material on it and fits just as well. I change it every other oil change so it goes maybe 12,000 mi and my car has nearly 150k without consuming any significant oil. So I think I'm good.
I use the Fram synthetic XG7317 filters on my summer car, and I only change the oil once a year given how little I drive it (3-4K kms at most annually). The mesh reinforced filter medium gives me peace of mind, and the silicone anti-drainback likely won’t see deterioration if it stays on a bit longer if I decide not to take it out one summer.
Motorcraft oil filters are crap. Buy the fram Ultra equivalent, they are THE BEST oil filters on the market, not Wix, not K&N, it is the fram ULTRA. It has been researched and tested time and time again by independent studies to filter the most particulates of any oil filter on the market.
Id also pick up the Fram ultra filter
His initial experience with the Mazda has been pleasant, but it's definitely not as refined as the Corolla. Definitely sportier and looks great, but it has some areas where it's rougher around the edges than the Corolla. Things like having a different size oil filter from the factory than what is sold as the replacement part... Quality of Life stuff like that.
I went through the same thing, I believe the part number that they gave you is the made in Mexico Mazda value oil filter. It worked on my 2.5 NA. Though in my opinion, the quality of the filter is subpar compared to the OEM made in Thailand filters.
Fram filters are junk. It's the only brand of oil filter I've ever seen/heard of actually collapsing on someone, and I've seen it twice. I'd avoid them like the plague.
I did that with a 300 CID 6 in an 80 F150.
Fram filter, nuf said.
All that and he put in a cheap Fram filter?
The shop I bought it from refunded me for the fram oil filter and my engine is fine but I’m pretty disappointed in myself for not doing anything when I noticed the gasket on the filter was a little big, I thought fram was just improving their seal bc I’ve had a few filters develop small drips. But just thought I would share my experience I think I’ll also spend a little more and get wix if their performance isn’t better Ik their quality control is bc every filter is sealed.
