Bumping this since I need to go change my oil. lol


I hate Fram filters. All the reasons have already been listed. When I bought my '76 Datsun, it came with fresh 10W30 Castrol and a Fram PH8A. It had a nasty top end rattle at higher RPM's, and just had a fresh top end rebuild. I changed the oil again, this time with a Bosch and fresh Castrol (again) and never heard the noise again. The cheap Fram filter looked like the material had started to collapse and that was enough for me to decide to never buy their filters again.


With that said, Napa Gold, Bosch, K&N, or Mobil 1
