I had always used the low (base) price fram filters. Never had an issue with leaks or failures. The 04 f350D though, only gets the motorcraft filters due to all the horror stories I read with the fitment and seal issues. I assume its a correct choice. I did my first DIY oil change on it last week, 15 qts was a little messy on my driveway but it came out just fine. God Bless

Hello Fellow Carhaulics & Friends: Rich, thank you for your expert opinion on these 3 Fram oil filters. Have you noticed that it's us old timers that are pushing away the cloud of secrecy within the automotive industry. Yes these jiffy joints will install the cheapest filter / parts in an customer's vehicle & just send them on there way. These quick oil change places only care about 1 thing ( PROFIT ) !! For me personally I don't want to find cardboard in any filters on my vehicles. I most probably agree with you that the pink one in the middle will do nicely for a 5 k Interval. IMHO any person that purchases a filter solely on price is just asking for trouble + being totally stupid. Thank you again sir for your findings, your time, & efforts with the making of this video. May I wish you nothing but much success, good health, & my best to your family. TMP from N.J. 😊😊😊😊

Price and oil change intervals depend on how long you plan to own the vehicle. You don’t get more for your used vehicle if you spend more on oil and filter. If you are keeping a vehicle long term and willing to pay for more extensive repairs then spending more on oil changes with better filters and fluids is beneficial for engine life

Would have liked to see the Titanium. The Endurance is a Champion Labs made filter exclusively made for and available at Walmart, just like the Titanium is made for Advance Auto parts but on the regular Fram production line. I believe the Super Tech filters are or were made by Champion. The Titanium has the same wire backed full synthetic media as the 'old' Ultra before they went to that cellulose backing. The Endurance is a high flow filter, and advertised as such, which to go 25k it would need to be. The retail on the Endurance is $12.99. I would go with the Titanium. It has the Ultra media. One of the other things, the Champ Endurance filters have louvers instead of the holes in the center tube. I would say that the Ultra is a great filter for the money.

Interesting what Fram is doing with the lineup. Seems like the Endurance is what the Ultra used to be. If anything, if I would bet, the micron rating is inverse to what we might want to believe. You can’t have higher micron filtration and higher flow with longer filter life. It’s just not going to happen. As much as I hate the paper end caps, I have seen more residue (looks like black paint) at the bottom of the can with the Tough Guard. And shining a light from behind, the Tough Guard has more “dirt” in it then Ultra or Wix XP, Purolator Boss or any of the “long life, high capacity” filters. I’ve also seen the “black paint” on Purolator One and Baldwin as examples. These are 99% at 20 microns or better as far as I know. They are not rated as long life because they would plug. I’ve seen Baldwins start to collapse after 5000 miles. Not necessarily a bad thing as long as they don’t tear or bypass and as long as people don’t leave them on forever. I leave the “long life synthetic filters”at the store for the 20 k oil changers.

The public was pissed off and they said we just make a stronger filter element, so the metal mesh would just be overkill, then they come out with this top of the line filter using the same Metal mesh that they used to use in the frame ultra synthetic so all they did was stop using it in the ultra waited one year and started using it again calling it a different name of course i’m speaking about the endurance filter so they could charge five bucks more per filter.

Hard to determine the best filter by looking at the materials used. I'm sure Fram designed the filter medium to perform in a certain way to give us the life expectancy. People also use different brands of oil which could effect engine wear? I chose the Endurance this time around and will be doing a drain and fill every 5,000 miles till I get 25,000 miles out of it. I use 0W20 Extended Protection Valvoline oil on my toyota Corolla. I plan on having this car a very long time and it is worth it to me to do short interval oil changes. Oil is cheaper than a worn out engine. Toyota recommends 10,000 mile intervals on my 2021.

Extra Guard and Tough Guard are junk. The Ultra is a good filter, and the Endurance, as expected, is an even better one.
@joeythedime1838 Жыл бұрын
It's interesting that the Endurance has a label attached to the can....while even the cheaper Tough Guard can has the Fram info painted on. I will say the blue can does look pretty cool.

Different production lines. Endurance is produced on the Champion Labs line which was acquired a long time ago by Fram.

Endurance will do for 10000 miles maybe.

That is very strange, if you watch "whipcitywrench" if it says "perfect seal gasket" instead of metal screen its supposed to be the newer version, I thought the new one had a better efficiency for microns as well??
@FordBossMe Жыл бұрын
That is correct the newer one does have a tighter efficiency at the lower Micron levels by a little bit and I'm the one that actually came up with that information for the internet to share because I got that directly from Fram

Endurance is overpriced for what it is. Dollar to dollar it's not worth extra $4 for me since xg4967 is $8.97 and fe4967 is $12.97 at my Walmart. BITOG users have shown it's a rebranded amsoil/royal purple. Am excited for revamp on lower end fram filters since I've seen videos on here showing they're fram branded Supertech filters. Nylon core and metal end caps with mobil1 filter media, 99% at 20 microns

For my civic it runs the xg7317 but unfortunately they took the metal screen out of the Fram ultra so I don’t mind paying a couple extra bucks for the synthetic endurance 🤷🏻♂️ but that’s just me I don’t cheap out when it comes to my car
@FordBossMe Жыл бұрын
There's a reason why they took the screen out and I covered that on another video it's to make it even more efficient and add more filtering media to the inside

I have never gone over 5000 miles before an oil change. I try for 3 to 4000 on my car. Oil is cheaper than buying a new engine or car.

Id love To see filters independant shops use. Each store has their basic commercial line that every indeoendant shop ive worked uses. Always been curious. Out of these 3 i like the gold but i chamge my fluids at recomended intervals and only put about two oil changes a year on an auto and 3 on the bike. Because i run deisel oil in my bike. The wet clutch loves it. And also the cost i cheaper and my bike is 36 yrs old. Deisel oil has better properties than motorcyxle oil imo. Im also curious if my opinion on that is correct. Thanks for your hard work doing this soending your own money to bring proof to these things you do. I appreciate it.

I change my oil every 5000 miles on 2017 Subaru outback. Is it safe to change these filters every 5 oil changes? At $10 a filter I cange them each oil change for peace of mind but am i wasting money? Im trying ultra platinum oil this weekend, been using Valvoline high mileage. Use to use moble 1 but Valvoline ran so much smoother and quiet so looking forward to see how platinum does. Thanks for all you info!
