RE: a fram oil filter killed my car
Napa are better than Mobile 1. Mobile 1 makes good oil, but ****ty filters from what I've seen. Some of Hondas OEM filters are or have been in the past really good, and some are crap (namely the ones contracted to Fram). I believe I read that the newest generation of Honda filter (made by Filtech I think) are decent. If I didn't buy that I'd buy Wix or Napa.

RE: a fram oil filter killed my car
I like how everyone chimes in that its not the Fram filter that was bad but the 2 0-rings. Well fram sucks regardless. Go to http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ to look at really good research on the topic of air and oil filters. My day is 73 years old and has been a mechanic for 50+years---both on the railroad and as a car mechanic. He took about 7 different brands of oil filters he had laying around and cut them all open. He noticed OEM were usually the best and Wix/Napa gold filters next. The fram filters---well lets say he will never buy one or recommend them to anyone--they are garbage paper filters with less filtering capabilities compared to the rest. End of story

RE: a fram oil filter killed my car
you or someone else forgot to clean out the old gasket. gotta check these things (well you know now) one of the first things i learned in college
it has nothing to do with fram. it has to do with who changed the filter. i don't know a whole lot about honda (im a newb) but i know about cars and trucks.

RE: a fram oil filter killed my car
i normally use the advance autoparts filter.. its like 3 bux.. its called purolator or something like that. i changed my oil a few days ago and i used one of the higher end fram filters.. it was normally like 10 bux but it was on sale for like 4. im not really worried about using a fram filter.. but it seems as if most of you are pretty adimate about their overall crappyness. so i'll steer away from them.. but i really cant imagine they make THAT big of a difference.
