Oil filter Fram or VALVOLINE

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.

If budget, buy the Fram with the dark end cap. Or one of these Mobil 1 filter Bosch Wix Gold All of these are efficency rated to a good level and will filter particulate to a better level, thus, less wear.

Fram is actually pretty underrated. People see the price and think it's cheap junk, but fram actually has a good filter with low micron rating. Fram actually invented the oil filter. Look it up. I have noticed a couple quality control problems but that's why I look at the filter before I buy it. Never had a problem

I’ve always used fram. They get the job done, and never had issues.

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

I found one with tons of metal shavings from fabrication. I wrote to FRAM and never got a reply. This is for a Extra Guard filter, my go to back in the days... no more.

Friends don’t let friends buy fram

Fram filters are awful.

I was getting low oil pressure readings, not level, but it was caused by a cold snap and a cheap Fram filter collapsing under my frozen, sludgy 10w40.

I personally would spend a bit more money on a decent quality oil filter, stay away from Fram.
