    oil filters that aren't fram?

    Is there a particular brand that you guys seem to prefer? I have bought FRAM filters previously but I'm reading a ton of bad press about em and thought I might switch brands if they're that awful.

    I have a personal preference for Wix (AKA NAPA Gold), Mobil1, and Purolator PureONE. All 3 are excellent filters.

        I'll use Motorcraft, SuperTech, Purolator, Wix, just about anything. Only Fram I ever used was on my old Chevy, mostly because I didn't care about that truck lol

              Motorcraft filters are a Purolator PureOne filter inside a regular Purolator case. Wix also makes a good filter. The Walmart ones are actually OK too.

                Walmart seems to only sell fram filters here. I buy the more expensive of them but I'll find a Motorcraft one this time around.

                    I used Mobil 1 on the car, and Mobil 1 on the truck for a while. Now I'm using Mopar filters on the truck, because the Mobil 1 filters are never on sale when I go to the parts store.

                          Wix/Napa Gold (same filter), or K&N. I have a cutaway of a current Fram filter sitting at work, and it's garbage.

                            Motorcraft, Wix, - K&N if you want expensive.


                            CarQuest are also Wix, as are Napa Gold like Larry stated.
