05/22/2008 | I've used Fram oil filters almost exclusively since I bought my car. It had 65,000 miles on it when I bought it, and it has about 125,000 miles on it now, and so far I haven't had any problems. They're relatively inexpensive, and they're widely available.

05/21/2008 | The standard Fram has too many quality control issues. They make better filters but at a higher cost. Best filters are from Wix, Purolator, Bosch, and AC. The Mopar and Motorcraft seem to be fine also. The Walmart Tech filters have been o.k. but I always look to see what country it was manufactured in.

02/23/2008 | I would not use fram even tho they make alot of great products because the filter media inside has cardboard endcaps and cardboard does not belong inside an engine or oil if you dont belieave me cut one open, other than that these have small filtering surface and low micron rating, you are better off with getting a cheaper bosch oil filter.

11/19/2007 | The only oil filter brand I use is fram. I change my oil every 3,000 miles and I have had no problem with fram. I tried the super tech oil filter brand and It worked fine, but it seemed really cheap and light -like a tin can. I would rather pay a couple extra cents to a dollar for a more sturdy oil filter.

11/17/2007 | I have heard nothing but bad things about Fram Filters since I ahve been researching them so I tend to steer clear of them.

11/10/2007 | I have never had a problem with Frams. However, I did take one apart
and compare it to another brand. The Frams filter pleating was simply
glued to a piece of cardboard instead of the metal endcap of the other
filter. I would put a Fram in my car before some complete generic but
will be using brands I consider to be less commercial from now on.

09/13/2007 | Honda's oil filters are made by Honeywell (FRAM), and I have not had any problems with them. I noticed that the silicone anti-drainback valve has been working properly after 5,000 miles where there was oil in the filter when I removed it during an oil change. I have installed a new FRAM Extended Guard XG7317 filter to see how well it works.

06/20/2007 | "Before You Fram It, Slam It!"
Their products generally get poor reviews, especially the oil filters, so I've stayed away from them. Not that it really makes a difference in the long run, but I generally go with Purolator for the cost and quality. Need more info, look here:

Not to be taken as gospel, as the author states, but it usually conicides with other studies I've seen.

10/04/2006 | My husband usually changes the oil in all our vehicles and has always used Fram or Motorcraft. He always changes the oil every 3000 miles and we've never had a problem with either one of these oil filters. I recently bought a couple of Havoline filters and he's been skeptical about using them.. Would like to see more reviews on the Havoline oil filter before actually using them. Just to ease his mind.

07/03/2006 | I've used Fram Extraguard (the orange one) for the last few years for daily driving and it hasn't let me down yet and seems to do the job. But on further discovery from oil study sites i've heard nightmares about them and they don't seem to have enough filter paper and use paper ends instead of metal. But my experience so far has been good with it. If I were to go more than the 3,000m/5000km interval I would go with something else.
