Oil filter Fram or OEM Subaru

I use Mobile 1 0w-20 and the top of the line Fram oil filter on my 2013 Highlander.

I'd go with a 'premium' oil filter like a Fram Ultra ($8).

I use the black OEM filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. The platinum and the Ultra Plat is the same formula now I’m pretty sure. I’d stick to the OEM filter too. It’s what my tuner recommends and I wouldn’t go against what he says unless it’s literally written in the stars

I got my crv at 148k miles, I use Valvoline conventional 5w-20 and a fram extra guard filter. I change my oil around 6k miles.

Yesterday I put 10w-40 in it since it seemed like it could help at least a little. It does have a Fram filter on it now.

Only filter I’ve ever had fail on me is a FRAM. Never again.

I think I tried using a Fram filter on my '99 truck once, and the filter was designed ever so slightly differently and as a result I lost all my oil in a week.

Wal-mart typically only stocks the Fram filter (gross) for my truck. FRAM (avoid) is PH2. All of them are fine except Fram, unless you are in a pinch.

I certainly would never put in a Fram and would highly recommend to anyone to stay away from that company for your German product.

I just watched an interesting video on Fram and other filters last night. Part of the problem is that Fram doesn't use a normal bypass spring in case the filter gets clogged, and can lead to starving the engine for oil. It's also just a really crappy filter.
