Fram Oil filter

I have nearly 25 years of working on my own vehicles and doing my own oil changes.

I use Supertech Fully Synthetic (High Mileage) along with FRAM Synthetic 10,000 mile filters.

Never had an issue, ever. No sludge, zero issues. I’m perplexed at the filter cry boys on this thread. As if there’s not hundreds of filter test videos on YouTube showing comparisons and oil testing results.

Pros: no sludge, zero issues

Yeah, I've been sticking with Fram Ultra for those longer intervals too. Haven't seen any drop in quality myself, the construction still looks solid when I cut them open, especially for the price point.

Pros: solid construction, good price
Cons: no drop in quality

I just cut one of my Fram Ultra open from my latest shipment a few days ago and it’s still the same high-quality build. Nevertheless, the product itself is still the top choice for my shop.

Pros: high-quality build, top choice

Fram Oil filter

It won't hurt your engine to use Fram. Especially if you change your oil frequently enough and use good quality oil.

That said, there are better built and better filtering options available at similar or slightly higher prices.

Pros: won't hurt engine
Cons: better options available

Fram Oil filter

It sounds like Jiffy Lube still likes to price gouge.

I have not been to a Jiffy Lube in years. Not since a basic oil change was closer to $20 if you caught them during a slow time and they were holding up their discount sign.

My invoice had the oil filter charge plus another $5 \"specialty filter\" charge.

Cons: price gouging, specialty filter charge

I’d personally stay away from that orange brand. I’ve had multiple issues with oil pressure with those brand filters

Cons: issues with oil pressure
