Oil filter Fram or Wix

Wix Oil filter

Subarus are honestly for the most part pretty easy to work on. Oil + filter changes are very easy. 30 ft/lbs, only use oem or wix filter imo

Pros: easy to work on
Vehicle: Subaru

Fram Oil filter

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

Pros: good filter, low micron rating
Cons: quality control problems

Wix Oil filter

DIY. Kirkland 0w20 full synthetic 5qt - 4-pack (20qt total) for $70. Buy a few WIX oil filters off Amazon for $10-12 each, and for $100 you can do 3 oil changes in your driveway.

Pros: DIY, cost effective

Wix Oil filter

Use an M56 filter, it's slightly larger. Been doing it for over 2 years. Over the counter Pennzoil Ultra Synethic 5w30 is fine, I use Redline 5w30, it's slightly thicker at temp. For a filter, you can't really go wrong with Wix, Mobil, or Fram Ultra. If you watch a tear down of any of these, they're all virtually the same. Fram are built in America and readily available, the Nissan filters are covered in glue and made like total crap in my opinion. But those three should be made in America. Lots of oil filter brands use Fram filters and slap their name on it, Wix too in Napa's case. If you change it every 3,000 miles you can basically use anything as long as it's a quality filter. Personally had nothing but good things to say about Wix and Mobil. Only annoying part about Fram Ultra is the stupid grip they put on them makes my filter wrench slip right off.. But I've used all three and had no complaints.

Pros: good quality, readily available
Cons: grip makes wrench slip
Part number: M56

Wix Oil filter

Delco and fram filters are no different. Wix is 100% way better and a lot less when you have a commercial account

Pros: Wix is way better
Cons: Delco and fram no different

Fram Oil filter

Fram filters are trash. I bought a fram for a new engine and upon fire up the lifters would clatter while it refilled the filter.

Cons: trash, lifter clatter

Fram Oil filter

Fram are by far the worst brand I've seen. Fram filters have cardboard caps on the element that can come apart. Some of them don't even crimp the ends of the element to prevent unfiltered oil from going through the gap.

Cons: worst brand, cardboard caps, unfiltered oil

Fram Oil filter

when I took off the FRAM filter there was no oil that came out. After inspecting the filter it seems like it was not filtering out the oil at all. There seemed to be cleaner oil in it instead.

Cons: no oil filtered, cleaner oil inside
