Oil filter Fram or VALVOLINE

Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic 0W20 with a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter. Every car I've owned gets this (weight varies by engine requirements). Runs better and longer than M1EP, Castrol GTX, Valvoline MaxLife, and it's cheaper than Royal Purple and still can be bought at Walmart.

IMO, best bang for your buck is Fram XG6607.

Mobil 1 filters and Fram Ultra filters are good too. Just don't use the the cheap Fram extra guard filter. It's made of paper. The Ultra is higher quality

Used fram for 2 years and not a single issue

I've seen Fram oil filters cause this, but in your photo, it appears you have a black Mann/Mahle/Bosch/VW filter on it

Definitely use a black OEM filter, you need the correct bypass pressure and the blues are made by fram which is legit made of trash

I would NOT buy a Fram oil filter unless it was their extended life triple safety whizz bang super dooper model, the plain ones are awful.

I would move away from Fram, their oil filters are garbage even their premium stuff.

I have never liked fram, they always cut corners in one way or another.

Never buy fram oil filters they’re all shit.
