And why? whats the proof?

Everybody hates Fram, dad ran them for 250,000 on an 83 caprice and 175,000 on a 78 lemans.

I use ac Delco cause I get them at employee price.

They make a gizmo that oil filter salesman/competitors buy. It is a thing that opens up oil filters like a can opener. Neat tool , but easier now to see Youtube vids of opened oil filters.

Lots of different construction/quality out there. Check out some vids.

Wix?????? That is what I have been using for years. So how do they rate?......jk

I ran them for 300,000 miles on 2 toyotas changed every 3000 miles but thats 20 yrs ago. Maybe they were better?

I’m of the opinion that regular oil changes are FAR more important than brand of filter. I buy whats convenient at the time.

U-tube video are not complementary of Fram’s construction.

Better air filter helps too. Stopping dirt from getting into the engine is a the big thing.

Napa Gold and Wix for me, they are the same. All my years in the mechanical and construction side golf courses. Cutting untold number of filters open along with feedback from my peers has convinced me. Now onto heavy equipment I still like Wix, but Baldwin filters are common and high quality, with wider coverage. High quality lube oil is far more important to me. Now onto Hydraulic filters, I only use OEM spec filters. designed and engineered for the application. I could buy a great lunch with a quarter for each "will fit" hydro filter I have seen ballooned or split from the threaded base. Valvoline Crimson # 2 grease, in case any wondered. Line boring heavy equipment is expensive....

^^^ these are what I use in my vehicles and equipment.

Use a factory brand filter, like motorcraft or AC Delco. Doesn't have to be your vehicles brand, either. Feel free to use a motorcraft filter on a Chevy, or vice versa. Store brands are good too.....napa gold, carquest, etc.

We use napa gold at.my shop.

I use Napa gold.Go to there web site to see how they are better.I buy mine from fleet filter you save about 40 0/0 from local parts store price and have deals if you purchase in quantity.

Toyota filters if you drive Toyota, not sure they make them for other makes and models. Tacomaworld had a great thread on the topic and cut open numerous other brands and compared the square inches and type of paper medium used. Toyota brand was tops, Napa Gold real good also. Buy toyota filters online by the case of 10 and get them for around $4 each...great filter, great price. Just my 2 cents

I've been using Wix filters and conventional 10w30 oil in my old yota. It's only got 707,000 miles on it though with no engine rebuild. However it does use a quart of oil in about 2,000 miles, so maybe it's not such a good filter????

I use hastings from federated . Not sure if they are good but all my junk is still running. Just change the oil when you should. If it holds up to my wifes driving its good. either the skinny pedal or brake on the floor!

Ac Delco or wix, but I have run gram filters before.
I run synthetic oil now and can't go wrong with Ac Delco.
Our car is proof of that 200,000 miles an going strong.
With Mobil 1 and AC Delco filters.
Price of cars an trucks this day and age, who wants to melt
A engine down with cheap filter an oil.

I use Napa gold and AC Delco


I remember selling the heck outta all kinds of FRAM filters back in the mid eighties when I worked at Autoshack , now AutoZone

AC Delco. Mobile 1 , Wix and Nappa gold are all good filters. I tend to use Wix as that is what they sell locally

Wix

Beta ratio is the efficiency the filter, it is available from manufacture of the filter. The higher the beta ratio the more efficient the filter is at removing debris from oil system. Wix are good, but there are some that are much better. Amsoil has the best beta ratio I have seen but others may be better.
