Oil filter Fram or OEM Mazda

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.

Have used FRAM oil filters for 45 years, GMC trucks, VW, Honda, multiple Nissan trucks and never an issue all engines lasted till crashed or sold.

Also, I would just use Fram ultra synthetic for 5k mile oil changes. It has 99% efficiency at 20 micron, so it’s fine, and its 20k mile rating is obviously more than enough for 5k mile oil changes.

I’ve been using Fram oil filters since the 90’s. I Used Fram filters on my original owner 2004 Honda Odyssey after warranty period was up for 20 years! That engine had 307,000 miles on it with zero issues when I got rid of it. Trans failed twice before engine did. My 2001 Maxima got 238,000 using Fram filters. That car got sold because of a rear main seal leak and other issues not engine related.  I used them in my 71’ Challenger and 87’ turbo T Buick WE4 (granted they never saw more than 300 miles during an oil change). I’ve never had a problem with them.

The frame filters are fine assuming you change your oil every 5k miles or 4 ish months

They got super cheap about 15 years ago and caused some of our club cars to have issues with pressure. So that was the end of that.

I have had two issues with Fram filters . One blow apart and another that loosened after the car was parked for a month

My girl and I were out one night in my pickup. 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 5.3L nothing special. Did a few donuts in the local parking lot in some fresh fallen snow. I didn't even thrash, just a couple easy revs for fun. Oil pressure dropped down a bunch. Turns out the GD element inside the filter blew apart and pieces of it were all over inside my motor. Took 4 oil changes to flush it out. Coulda been a lot worse.

used a FRAM on my Escape and I had a weird oil pressure issue where the CEL and oil can lights came on
