Pros: good filter options

Cons: cheap Fram filter

Vehicle: Chevrolet Camaro

The best oil filter is mobil 1 but there was a batch years back and could tell simply by shaking filter and would rattle.

I got denied an engine replacement from Hyundai/Kia in 2017 because of a Mobil1 oil filter in Canada and lost my appeal as well.

Cons: denied engine replacement
