The worst oil filter EVER

watch to see which automotive oil filter is the best

1:55 What is the reason for the string around the middle of the filter element Mike ??
The FRAM filter with the all paper element has to be the cheapest piece of junk that is sold today. THEY ARE CALLED THE ORANGE CAN OF DEATH.

I run that fram filter on my 2006gmc 1500 with 210, 000 miles on it been running that exact filter since brand new I will continue to run it till I retire the truck. Looks to me like you got one that was overly old and sat in someone’s damp garage for a few years. Something doesn’t smell right here

You would not notice anything different from a cheap filter like Fram because the damage takes a long time to materialize.

[cobaltsslsj]

not being fair to fram using premium filters to compare with, use a fram ultra instead - Please

[pepperstinson]

Amazing how POOR Fram filters are. What is more surprising is that I used them for years without issue and put over 200K on several vehicles — BUT, I regularly change the oil. Which must be an important factor!!

This has got to be the worst filter comparison I have ever seen. You are taking the best NAPA and the worst Fram. You made the Fram look worse than they are. You can use a Fram oil filter forever and you will not have an issue. Folks, just buy what you like. You will not have an issue. Ever.

Holy CRAP! I had no idea. Glad I watched this. I will NEVER buy a FRAM product ever again. I remember from growing up in the 60's and 70's just how much FRAM was advertised, especially on TV and on NASCAR events. I was literally brainwashed into believing FRAM was the best and the gold standard...
I will be buying NAPA from now on..
... I am so pissed right now LOL

I have been using Napa gold filters on my 2015 impala 3.6. I'm glad I selected that filter.

Any comments on the shrinking of the size of oil filters? I just purchased a wix for my 2008 5.7 dodge and it is like half the size of the original filters.

Imagine my shock when I started seeing Honda oem filters being opened up and they were rebadged crap fram! Ugh no wonder their oil changes were so cheap! Don’t go to the dealer anymore, but almost 200k miles runs like new still. 2012 accord 4 cylinder. Thanks for the video.

I remember a couple years ago people were saying fram filters were being copied by china an low quality will there it is

[solardiver]

Looking at open filters is nice, but it doesn't tell you about filtering capacity and flow rate. That can only be done by testing. 80 to 90 percent of engine wear occurs at startup. So a filter with a high filter capacity will have a lower flow rate and as the media traps more contaminate the flow rate goes down. So a good filter has a compromise between filtering capacity and flow rate.

I have 174K on my daily driver and only run Fram filters and Royal Purple, change oil every 3500 miles. Learning that my engine is now junk due to fram, im trading it off to one that has a wix filter and 170k miles. 🙄

Worked for large excavating company with over 450 pieces of equipment, john deere, cat, mack trucks they used napa filters oil samples kept coming back poorly switched to wix same thing poorly switched to Baldwin and numbers were perfect. John deere and cat said keep doing What you're doing. Baldwin is the filters they continue use.Thanks for video.
