Oil filter Fram or OEM Volkswagen

I used Fram filters in my Nissan for 20 years. It's still going strong. I did oil changes religiously though.

58 years old, been using Fram oil filters since the beginning. My auto oil filters have always been Fram or Puralator, and haven't had an engine failure yet. Not 20 years ago, not 2 years ago. Change them every 3000-5000 miles and you'll be good.

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 have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad

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.

Fram is junk. Stick with OE/OEM.

No, fram is the worst possible oil filter brand. They are restrictive, cheap, Chinese crap. I've seen them come fresh out the box with gaps in the metal. I've seen videos of people cutting open un used filters and finding surface rust.
