Great video! Retired here.. been using the least expensive Fram oil filter (extra guard now) since high school. Change oil every 3000k and never had a problem. Currently have 357k on my 2002 5.3 Silverado.

Three things to never discuss in polite company: Religion, Politics, Oil Filters and Oil. 😂

Honestly, I change my oil filter with every oil change. I use the 20k filter and oil, but never go over 5k miles between changes. Some may call it a waste of money. However, it's relatively cheap, especially for maintenance care.

I'm a fan of the Endurance. Based on the specs and appearance, it seems to be the same as the Amsoil filter with a different paint job and label for 30-40% less money..

I work at Walmart in the Auto Care Center and Fram is Walmart's corporate contracted oil filter. We use the COR line which is intended for commercial sales such as an Auto Care Center. They are similar to the Orange box Fram Extra Guard, just without the fancy stencils the Extra Guard has. However, when I have my own vehicles oil changed, I run the Ultra Synthetic filters. I have a 99 Chevy Silverado I bought in 2011, and have run Mobil 1 Synthetic in it for almost that whole time, no engine related issues with that truck. It's solid. I also have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, running the same oil/filter setup in it too. I just bought a 2005 Grand Caravan with a lot of miles and a couple of engine issues. The engine is solid but is throwing a P0016 code, camshaft or crankshaft position sensors not corresponding. I have both sensors but haven't replaced them yet, they are a bit of a chore to accomplish but doable. The previous owner used it as his daily driver, running it about 100 miles round trip every day, and I'm not sure what his service interval was, so I'm going to do a couple short intervals using Marvel Mystery Oil the last few hundred miles to help clean it out. I'm suspecting the variable valve system might be gummed up too, so hopefully this will help clean that up and start it running better. (That can also possibly cause the P0016 engine code). After that I'm going to run the Mobil 1/Ultra Synthetic oil setup I'm using in the other vehicles. Everyone just remember that Fram was the original aftermarket oil filter manufacturer and have been in business for about 100 years now. In this amount of time, they should know what they are doing, so personally, I'm 100% confident in running Fram products. My family has been farming for decades where we ran Fram filters on tractors, trucks, combines and a whole host of self propelled farming equipment, and we have rarely ever had an engine failure, and those that happened were not from a bad Fram filter. My Grandpa even ran the local Gambles Hardware Store and carried Fram filters, and he never had anyone come back with a bad one. So that's a pretty solid track record. Nothing wrong with running a Fram.

Great video, I always change my oil @5000 miles with full synthetic oil.I never run conventional oil or synthetic blend. Changing oil at regular intervals with quality oil and quality filters is a sure way to get alot of miles out of your vehicle.

350,000 miles on my 2005 chevy 6.0 Vortec using Fram Ultra and SuperTech 5w30 Full Synth every 7.5k miles - why fix what ain't broke ....

It was the bypass valve that was chincy on frams. Still looks the same causing it to not filter

on my 2006 Yukon with the 5.3 I use the application for 2002. It's a longer filter. I've been using my case of old stock Delco PF 59 or the wix equivalent. Napa GOLD are also good.

Good video. Just so you know, the words "Product of USA" does not mean that it was "Made in the USA"! Thanks, Jimmy, for all that you do to keep us informed!

Jimmy, I always enjoy your videos and I like the way you analyze everything you do! It is a personal preference for different people it’s be my experience on my vehicles like my 1993 Z71 I run wix or AC Delco I’ve done a lot of research and to me “and this is just my opinion “ on any of my vehicles the only oil filters I’ll trust are WIX, K&N, AC delco or Amzoil. But Never Fran again just my opinion for what it’s worth keep your videos coming I love them!👍🏼

The endurance is VERY good filter ! The wire backed media indicates this filter can last a long time

The Amsoil EAO, Purolator Boss, and Royal Purple Extended Life all also feature the same white, micro-glass synthetic media. These are all their top level oil filters with the same [extended] service mileage.

Just use the EXCELLENT Fram Ultra Synthetic filter. Cant beat it. I run 2 oil changes thru it w/excellent results. 💯

This new Fram filter is $10.00 cheaper than the Amsoil and is made with the same exact components.

thank you for this tutorial

Having a filter that will hold up and have good flow after 15, 20, or 25 thousand miles would be a really good idea, but I would still go with changing the oil every 3 to 5 thousand miles. I would not be changing my filter every time. Maybe every 2nd or 3rd oil change. "Why?" you may ask. As the filter starts to get dirty it will filter out smaller and smaller particles. As some of the holes get partially plugged it creates some smaller holes that will be able to trap even smaller pieces. This will actually work kind of like a bypass filtration system. You just need to make sure that you have a filter that won't break down, plus will keep a good flow rate even after it is partially plugged.

Interesting video

everything looks chintzy to me. compared to another brand i like

I don't think Fram is saying that with this filtrer you can change the oil in 25k miles intervals. I believe Fram is offer an longer interval for your filtre, not your oil.

The synthetic new filter threads are the bottom warp so easy making it slip when trying to remove it. I end up having to puncture a hole with screw driver to remove it. I wished they coated the thread with those black stuff.

That Fram endurance is a top notch filter, I could tell the second I opened the box, it looks like it's made by Amsoil but less expensive, I'll be going back to Wal-Mart and buy a couple more for my Subie XT. Oh, GM is always going to suggest you buy their AC Delco garbage, they own AC Delco.

Top tip. When your oil filter is oriented as shown, fill it with oil before installing. Gets the oil pressure up faster.

What I’m interested in is if using the Fe filter would your oil pressure increase since it says “high-flow” because back then when they use to sell the K&N filters my oil pressure was higher that’s the only reason I used them but I’m still pissed they cost $12.97 like really😒 I get it it’s a royal purple filter at Frams cost but why did they have to get rid of the K&Ns

That Fram FE filter is well constructed filter. High quality. I wouldn't go past 7,500 miles on that filter. Not because of the filter, but because of the full synthetic oil. 25,000 miles before a full synthetic oil change is ridiculous to say the least.

Atleast what Fram is saying on the box is actually correct on what's in the filter

Thanks

Jimmy, idk how you feel about priming the oil system before start, but if you do, your truck may have "flood mode," where you push the gas to the floor while starting. It will turn over, but not crank. My 06 Sierra has this, and I wish I used it after letting it sit for a few weeks (months maybe). Engine was knocking like a mofo till pressure built up. I don't think the time involved in an oil change will cause this to happen, but it is a thing that some of these trucks have, if you weren't aware.

I was just reading about the new micro glass technology. It seems to be only in high end filters now.

How do you speed up your video uploads for your channel 😊?

The Endurance filter flows 3 times as much oil as most other filters while removing even more dirt.

Instead of using the Ac Delco PF46 filter, try the PF61 filter on your truck. It's longer and has more filter media and costs the same as the 46. I showed this to my friend who has a Surburban and now the 61 is all he uses. Easier to screw on and off too.

Fram ultra synthetic are great filters.

I always use Wix on my 63 Dart, and my 17 Trax. Most auto channels use Wix including racers.

I use the Fram line of filters, and I too change my oil every 3-5,000 miles. Just a note: if you noticed, when you started your engine, it took about 5 seconds to get oil pressure. Thats not good. When changing your oil filter you should fill the filter with oil before you put it on. That way you will get pressure almost immediately. No dry starts. Just a tip from an old timer.

Imo, the OG Ultra XG, the best filter of the bunch. Two ply full synthetic wire backed. Unfortunately, First Brands decided to cheapen the media to a thin synthetic layer backed by blended media for support. Price stayed the same. Endurance a good filter, but some applications downsized and ~$4 more than OG Ultra.

I'm surprised you don't experiment with pulling filters on every system. I'm looking to put a coolant filter in

You can use canola oil and a napkin just change it on time.Fram #1 oil filters of all time.100 years gong strong 💪.

They always claim high mileage for filters but you should always go by what the manufacturer recommends

That "goopy glue" is what stops the oil from passing thru the gaps in the filter. I kno it should be obvious but the filter media goes in out, in out all the way around. This is the first filter in a cartridge style that is actually sealed at both ends forcing all of the oil to be filtered. I do wonder if this is the fram titanium rebranded for walmart, I'll figure that out next oil change

I have been an AC Delco man when it comes to oil filters I switch to Fram and now I'm using wix if you want to cut up oil filters and show the inside of all of them Dr 3 or 4 different brands it might shock you it did me and this is in my 2000 GMC Yukon XL with 368,000 Mi on it❤

Why not change the oil every 3,000 - 5,000 miles and the filter at 25,000 miles? Makes less oil filters in the landfill.

Is that an oil filter magnet on the side of that OF? If so what type is it?

These filters are Amsoil clones made by the same manufacturer for walmart. Other youtubers have cut them open and can confirm they are the same. So they are excellent filters for the money.

Holding out for the 50k version. J/K. I really wish manufacturers of oils and filters stopped these 15k, 20k, etc, labeled products. It's really giving consumers the wrong idea, considering not one single automaker recommends those intervals on their engines.

You guys are a very cute couple! Keep the videos coming! Great video.

I'm fine with ACDelco. They've never given me an issue.

I run K&N and pennzoil in my 03 suburban z71

I will never use another fram filter. I stopped using fram garbage years ago when I found out just how cheap and poor quality they were made. A little while ago the parts store was out of the normal filter I use for my 2000 jeep Cherokee so I used a Fram ultra guard. Having seen good reviews on them I figured I was safe just this one time. In less than 3,000 miles it started leaking from the seal. I checked and it was tight, but not too tight. So I did an oil change and the seal on the filter had actually gone concave. Lesson learned....don't even use a fram in a pinch. Go find an actual quality filter.

Wish they would have included the grippy stuff.. That really made it a lot easier to take off AND put on.

I have a 2006 Altima and I always change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Could I extend it to 5,000 miles or even more? Probably, but every 3,000 miles puts my mind at ease 😂

I use either Wix or AmsOil filters myself. Like oils, it's a matter of personal preference. Oh, and include your wife in more videos, Jimmy! Thanks man!

I think I'll throw my money at the Amsoil filters that cost at least double the Fram filters, but they also go far beyond the industry standards of other filter companies, including Wix.

Wix filters caused hydraulic failures on our cat and John deere excavators and switched to Baldwin filters and problems solved.

I just found out my oem honda filters ive been using since day one are made by fram.

I'll use it

Not Impressed to be Honest for their highest end Filter.

The Amsoil filter is the Synthetic Endurance in a different package..check it out..

What's the thickness of the can

New filter has way to much glue on the filter material

they should use the new standard for testing like the cybertruck see if it is bulletproof for driving through riots.

why on earth do they rate oil filters by how long you can go between oil changes people who change their own oil are not going to go past 7500 miles i would guess otherwise they would just let dealer do oil changes. I want to know how good is filter at removing particles not rating on mileage.

Good stuff Jimmy! I agree 100 percent with you about never going 25k miles before changing the oil. Then again, I drive a 1999 GMC K2500 Suburban with a 7.4 (454) and it's all metal... So, 3500 miles is my personal limit. Thanks for sharing. Funny, manufactures usually don't want things to last but I'm sure the bean counters still manage a profit somehow. Can't wait to see what's next.

Anyone who reuses oil filters after an oil change needs to educate themselves. Or start Savin money for their next vehicle.

I don’t care what they say. I’m not going anywhere near 25k miles before and oil change. Doesn’t matter I won’t go over 5k and the oil gets changed 👍

Newer engines have higher intervals of oil changes. I go by my owners manual and the oil life gauge on my truck and change the oil and filter every 10000 miles 🤪 Unless it’s under severe conditions.

These filters replaced the K&N filters at my local Walmart.

The question of the day is do you still have to oil The gasket on this new style of oil filter by fram

No matter what I still change my oil at 3 to 5 k

Why is there no bypass valve? Should that be a concern?

Hey anyone notice that the none of the Fram haven a oil bypass valve if the oil filter gets clogged no bypass valve to allow engine to still get oil

Fram lost my trust years ago.

Cool. I've used the Kirkland full synthetic for the last 20 oil changes (5w-30, 5k mile OCI, OEM filter). My 2006 Matrix has over 213,000k and runs perfect. It's just as good as Mobil 1 IMO. I'm still kicking myself for not buying 5 boxes of the stuff when they were going for $21 (it's now like $37).

I’m gonna ask Scotty about refilling ur oil filter before putting it on. Just saying

I'm more interested in the combination of flow and filtration efficiency than capacity. The filter can have a capacity of 35 grams, but if it's restrictive, or letting 25-micron particles through, I'm not going to be a fan.

Is it cardboard or some kind of fabric?

Mayby it's for people who change oil but only the filter every other time.

If i have to choose 1, quality oil or quality filter I would choose quality oil everytime. Even if that meant using a Fram filter..

I would use it but definitely not 25K miles. Maybe 8-9K

Who in their right mind is going to use one filter over 25,000 miles.....

I saw this at wally world the other day. I didn't buy it....🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seems to be a good one though.

Is this the same as Amsoil?

why not compare different fram filters for the same car?

It costs less than $5, why do you need it to last forever. 👍

It’s the same as the royal purple filter and a few bucks cheaper.

IMHO, Fram can't be trusted for quality. Mobil 1, AMSOIL, K&N, or in emergency AC Delco for me. I really like the 1" hex nut welded on the K&N. However they are for max flow like racing and don't filter as fine of particles. Robust engines like 350 and 454 old school should be fine with them. LS and modern, I don't know how finicky they are.

I was wondering" you don't fill' your filters with oil, before you put em' on ?🤔

25 thousand miles Fram lmfao 14 bucks is the same price as a performance k&n

I’ll stick with Wix. The whole auto system is designed to kill your motor earlier with these fillers and parts of “convenience ” . I’ll stick with Wix every 3,000 miles. It’s all about the micron percentage.

The sad part about this is that there will be a lot of dumb ppl that r gonna fall for the 20k miles filter change. Don’t do it. You will regret it. I guarantee u some ppl will Change the oil and not the filter.

He is impressed with Fram...all I need to know

With the current car market and Biden-economy, people are running their cars longer and need better maintenance products per buck. Even Amsoil formulated a brand new, high mileage oil for car owners today.

You look like the Dad from Family Ties

FK FRAM! They violated my trust for many years and will never see another dollar from this guy! Napa Gold for the win!

Can you make your own toilet paper filter? What do you think about it?

The filter last 25,000 miles, not the oil. You still have to change the oil.

I go for K&N oil filter. Had them for every 5k miles on my lifted xB. And they are great. Can’t go wrong. Also made in USA. And they are robust. The body of the oil filter is stronger. Try squeezing it

Oil filters are cheap enough I'd never consider running a filter for 6,000 miles let alone 25,000

25k is way to many miles

🟪 for life!! I like having the bypass valve built into the spring. AC Delco my next choice. I paid too much for my car, literally, so I can't bring my self to use any FRAM when the inside looks like a Campbells soup can with holes stamped out inside. For a cheap car though I'd come to the same conclusion and use these.
