Fram filters are overpriced garbage. Cut one open once and you'll see why. They use cheap cardboard endcaps and are prone to having the anti-drainback valve fatigue/leak a lot more prevalently than other oil filters. Some of the better oil filters out there are as follows: Amsoil EaO, Fram Extended Guard (actually uses metal endcaps, and a silicone ADBV), Wix (a.k.a. Napa Gold), Purolator PureONE, K%26amp;N, Royal Purple and Mobil 1. Also, it is not true that Havoline gums up your engine. My Acura is running strong at over 150,000 miles with no sludge/varnish or consumption, and I have used Havoline a number of times. Excellent oil with a Group II+ basestock, and a robust additive package.What is the best brand of oil filter out there?
Fram is one of the best and has been around for over 50 years, I have never had a problem with a fram in the 43 yrs. that I have been playing with cars, WIX is also a good filter.
I use Fram, but AC,Purolator, and Motorcraft are good filters..
I use Kendall GT-1 in my hotrod, Valvoline is good, as is Castrol...
DO NOT use Havoline, it gums up your engine....
I think a NAPA Gold filter is better then a Fram but its a little more money I have been running napa gold filters for sometime
i run napa gold filters and we run napa filters in all our equipment as well, they seem to do a pretty decent job, they may not be as well known as fram but i wouldn't change as of now
i like penzoil filters or mobile.
i like mobil, or k%26amp;n
