Fram Oil Filter By heatherwells on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Fram makes a great oil filter. It is avaible almost anywhere, from auto- parts stores to most Wal-marts. Fram is the oil filter that my husband chooses among all of the other oil filters. The quality of these oil filters are wonderful. It lasts for a long time and we have been able to use it for a long time. It is extremely durable. Even if you have to go past your oil change date you can continue to use this oil filter. I would not recommend doing this, but from our own experience it has lasted to a certain limit. All of our family and friends use this product, so that says something about the name brand. I would defintally would recommend this to everyone who asks us about it. It's truely an amazing product.

Years ago Fram was a quality filter manufacturer. Now their standard filter (the radioactive-orange cans) is one of the worst out there. It features cardboard end caps for the filter element that are glued in place. The rubber anti-drainback valve seals against the cardboard and frequently leaks, causing dirty oil to drain back into the pan. The bypass valves are plastic and are sometimes not molded correctly, which allows them to leak all the time. The stamped-metal threaded end is weakly constructed and it has smaller and fewer oil inlet holes, which may restrict flow. I had one of these filters fail in my previous car. The filter element collapsed and bits of filter and glue were circulating through my system. The oil passage to the head became blocked and the head got so hot from oil starvation that it actually melted the vacuum lines connected to it as well as the wires near it.
