Wix has the factory spec bypass valve for my car and I've just heard shit things about fram. (might be a meme but why risk it to save a couple bucks every 3000 miles?)

>inb4 unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence
When I was in high school auto class (2003) a NAPA rep showed up with a box full of off the shelf oil filters. Fram, Napa gold & silver, Valvoline, Motorcraft, and whatever GM's OEM is. He let us take each one to a band saw to see what they were made of. Most were very similar but frams at the time were literally a bent piece of spring steel instead of a spring and perforated cardboard for a filter medium. He did a bad job of selling the Napa golds over OEMs but to this day I've never touched a Fram.

Patrician's choice

How much was your last oil filter o? I paid 20$for a Mobil 1 cartridge filter for my Volvo s40. They didn't have any other filter on stock at AutoZone and i don't want to wait for shipping

>not using OEM filters

why do you hate your car so much anon?

i just realized removing the filter from some random car is an easy way to fuck it up. most of them are so accessible too

>Purolator is cheaper and better quality

Sorry, but the forum people on BITOG took apart lots of Purolator cannister oil filters after doing their own oil changes. Quite a few of them had holes in the filter media. Purolator would not respond to them.

The Fram ultra filters have a metal mesh that even goes between each pleat, so the filter media is always supported. This prevents holes from forming when parts of the filter get clogged up and the pressure across the filter builds up including cases where the engine is one of those that stops and starts a lot, thus having pulses of oil pressure.

So, Purolator makes Bosch as well. They're good filters. I usually stick with Motorcraft because I have a Ford.

>>16810210
BITOG is very positive on Purolator. They had that issue a few years ago senpai.

Hello, /k/
Should I buy an SKS or a 870 repro or a double barrel for my first gun?

>>16808532
Just wanted to ask, how does it feel to have your bait completely ignored?

I've always used K&N Oil Filters. Am I throwing my money away?

>>16812064
If it lets you sleep better at night... no.

>>16808514
I never change my oil filter. When I perform an oil change, I always just empty out the original oil filter and rinse it with a little water. I have never had a problem so far.

>>16812093
i soak mine in CLR for 15 minutes, rinse it off, and screw it back in

You can't get under most cars.
Removing it with the rest of the oil undrained means you get a big messy squirt of oil on your arm and body.

Filters and their source of manufacture are always changing with the various brands. So when anyone says a specific brand is good or bad, that info needs to be dated.

Mi familia, Wix or nothing. If fram was the last filter on earth I'd probably just walk instead.

Well then loosen it just enough that it still seals against the block with the engine off but won't hold pressure with it on. They won't notice until the oil pressure idiot light comes on and by then there's about 3 ounces of oil left and the main bearings are fugged.

>>16809392
OEM blue for my Subaru is made by fram. The OEM blacks are made by Tokyo Roki and are much better, but they're stupid expensive. Honda OEM is fram shit as well; and ACDelco filters are shitty e-cores just like fram extra guards. They look and feel like they'd disintegrate if you glared at it hard enough.

Don't you love when the obvious fram shills show up. like this thread happened last month. exactly the same.

>pic related

it makes it much easier to get those fuckers off.

Even when I use to buy K&N oil filters, I thought it was funny they had those bolt shapes on the end, I thought it was for aesthetics, but later I found out, it has a fucking use.

>>16815770
I would be hesitant at the XP model. I just recently had one where the secondary bypass valve broke off and was just wide open the x amount of miles on my engine.

The regular ones are fine. but I'd watch for the XP ones for awhile.

>>16815848
I've already done 5 oil changes total across 3 cars with a different model XP filter for each (51356, 51334, 51060) and have had zero issues with them. Yours was probably just defective, I'd contact Wix about that, if you haven't already.

SKS if you can find one in decent condition. It'll last forever, but may not be available for purchase forever. 870s are extremely common and you can pick one up at any later date.
