What do I know about oil filters? Probably not enough!
But here is what do know:

The most important thing you can do for your engine is CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER FREQUENTLY!!!
This is more important than what brand of oil or filter you use.

– Don’t wait for the low oil light to come on.
– Don’t wait for the oil to turn black.
– Don’t try to save money by just changing the oil and not the filter too.

In summary:

Don’t be an idiot!

OK, now that I have that out of the way, let’s talk about the FRAM filter. I have lost count of the hundreds of vehicles and other pieces of equipment that I have changed oil and filters on over the past six decades. Most of these have been done using FRAM filters. Why do I use FRAM? It has to do with availability, affordability, and reliability. I have always been able to find FRAM, and they are always reasonably priced compared to the other brands. Most importantly, I have never had a FRAM filter fail. They fit, they seal, and they do their job filtering the oil. Do I ever ask them to go above and beyond? No, I don’t. That is because I take care of my engines and change the oil and filter when I should. Do I spend a bit more than I need to? Probably, but I make up for it by doing the service myself and not having to overhaul or replace a very pricey engine. But even if you are one of the less handy folks who are forced to take your vehicle into a service center or, worse yet, a stealership, regular oil changes are cheaper than the alternative.
TLDR: Take care of your engine and buy FRAM filters!

This filter is great and cheap enough to replace after every oil change. A well-known American superstore in my area charges twice the price for the exact filter.

The FRAM Extra Guard PH7317 oil filter is an excellent choice for everyday drivers. It’s easy to install thanks to the SureGrip design, and it offers reliable protection for up to 10,000 miles. I like that it captures 95% of dirt particles and works well with both synthetic and conventional motor oil.

The silicone non-drain back valve gives added peace of mind during start-ups, and it meets manufacturer-recommended change intervals. Overall, a dependable and affordable oil filter for regular vehicle maintenance.

I have been buying these FRAM Ultra Synthetic oil filters for a few years now, as opposed to OEM, and I’m really impressed! Based on my research at the time, the filtration performance is top-notch, providing excellent protection for my engine. It is designed for use with synthetic oils, which gives me peace of mind for longer oil change intervals. In fact I normally change my oil and filter once a year since I do not drive much (e.g. <10k). But the last time around I only changed the oil and left the filter on since it's rated for 20,000 MILES which is ~32,000 KM. The installation is always straightforward, and the build quality feels robust and durable.
In the past few years using these on all our vehicles, I did not notice any difference in engine performance compared to OEM. Overall, I can recommend these filters.

Introducing the FRAM Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter: your engine’s best friend and a true champion in the realm of automotive maintenance! With an installation process so simple, you could probably do it blindfolded (but we don’t recommend that), this filter features a non-slip surface that ensures you won’t be wrestling with it like a greased pig at a county fair.

But wait, there’s more! This marvel of engineering boasts a filtration efficiency that exceeds a staggering 99%. That’s right—your engine will be cleaner than your neighbor’s backyard after they’ve had a yard sale! Plus, with its silicone anti-drainback valve, you can rest assured that your engine is getting the royal treatment it deserves, even when you let it sit for a bit.

Now, let’s talk durability. This bad boy is built to withstand the heat—literally! With a design that can handle up to 20,000 miles of relentless performance, it’s perfect for those long-haul road warriors who refuse to let anything stand in the way of their epic journeys. Whether you’re cruising through scenic landscapes or navigating the urban jungle, this filter is your steadfast companion, ensuring your engine remains as vibrant and resilient as your sense of adventure.

As for me? I’m a firm believer in keeping things fresh and fabulous. For my trusty 2014 Honda Odyssey and my wife’s 2015 Honda CR-V LX 4WD, I change the filter every 10,000 miles. Why? Because just like changing your socks after a long day (please tell me you do that!), your engine deserves a clean slate to keep performing at its peak.

So, if you want to give your vehicle the kind of care that would make even your mother proud, look no further than the FRAM Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter. It’s not just an oil filter; it’s a commitment to excellence, reliability, and a dash of humor on the road. Treat your car right, and it’ll return the favor with miles of smiles!
