I noticed a lot of people use fram filters. I have heard so many bad stories from people using fram. My advice is pay an extra dollar and get a better filter like pure 1 or napa gold or at least OEM factory filters. If you want to learn more about such stories and or filters click on the links I put on my previous post. I personally go with the real full synthetic Amsoil and Amsoil filter or Mobil 1 syntheytic with a Mobil 1 filter. These however are pricy but about the best according to some of the oil samples I and others have had tested.

I just switched over from fram to the K&N filter.It cost like $13 but I think itll be worth it. I use Mobil1 full synthetic and occasionally Ill use the Lucas additive.

I use purolator. I used to use fram but I saw how terribly they are made. Fram is the worst thing you can do for your car.
