   Fram is poor quality, February 25, 2011

   The standard Fram oil filters are considered one of the poorest quality oil filters on the market. They have cardboard internal end caps and irregular filter medium held together by clips. These are constructed in Canada and quality control doesn’t seem all that good. As someone else mentioned, go to YouTube and look up «oil filter comparisons» – you’ll see how inferior Fram is compared to other brands. I used Fram for years, but will not buy any more after seeing these dramatic comparisons!

   Good, basic oil filter that does the job well, August 6, 2013

   The grip surface is one key feature that I don’t see on other oil filters, it used to be a thick rubber add-on and now it appears to be a sprayed on surface, still having it is better than not having it since it allows for a better ability to apply torque and avoid slip.

   It does its job well, fits my Accord without issues. Some filters have an anti-drainback valve which this doesn’t have being a base version but that feature is more of use during car cold startup only. One tip that applies to all DIY oil changes, just check to make sure the filter gasket (that rubbery ring surrounding the filter mouth) is removed along with the oil filter you just removed. Sometimes those rings come off the filter and get stuck to the engine surface.

   The Fram Extra Guard oil filter is what I typically use on my car at oil change time. They are typically the lowest cost filter that isn’t generic. They have always worked well for me so I have no complaints. One nice feature is the top of the filter is coated with a material that allows your oil filter wrench grip it well so it doesn’t slide off when trying to tighten or loosen it.
