Fram Oil Filters Extra Guard By JOEY on Oct 25, 2007 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

Very interesting oil filter. For many years Fram has produced this oil filter. Its a filter I have used on many of my vehicles in the past. First of all let me say the best thing about it is the outer case. It is very hard and solid. I have never had one fall apart or get crushed by taking it off with a filter wrench. This is one area that this filter stands out from other low cost filters. I have always been one to change my engines oil filter and oil right around 3,000 miles. The filter worked well in this type of service for me. I would not however feel comfortable recommending it for an extended service situation. These filters do not cost much money and usually in this price range there tends to be compromises that I feel would not be appropriate for long term or extended use.
