@@FordBossMe Nice observations a very good video, but I just can't bring myself to ever trusting Fram filters. But I have heard good things about FRAM TITANIUM what are your thoughts? Thanks. I really like the STP XL full synthetic oil filters. images.app.goo.gl/XBZxTAGpAUFhHJK96 They are great for the price and are very durable with atleast 98% @ 20 microns. Have you ever tried STP filters? Paired with a good motor oil such as Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, they make a robust combination. Also, Motor Craft oil filters are rebranded Purolators but with better Anti drain back valves. I always have had flow issues with purolators, but have had great results when using Ford's OEM version ofcourse. Ford's oil filters have provided me good Blackstone laboratory oil reports, but the need for a higher-quality quality filter media than Motor Craft justifies the use of after market oil filters such as STP XL SYNTHETIC for Peace of Mind. STP OIL FILTERS at least the synthetic versions are rebranded PREMIUM GUARD FILTERS that are high quality. Premium guard filters are what SCOTTY KILMER recommends. The STP filters seem to have a better gasket than the Premium guards making them even better for the value. Thanks.

Thank you for the excellent videos. And thank you for sticking up for Fram! I use nothing but the Fram Ultra synthetic oil filters on my 1987 Mazda B2200 pickup and 2004 Yamaha FZ1 motorcycle, and 1997 Buick LeSabre. In the past I've used the "dreaded" orange Fram filters with no problems. I tried the expensive Mobil extended performance oil filter once on my Mazda because everyone was bragging about it. Well, everytime I started it up the engine would knock for a few seconds like it was dry starting which scared the blank out of me, so I changed the oil filter back to Fram and no more knocking noises. Needless to say I'm sticking with the Fram Ultra Synthetic filters! It seems strange to me because I've used Mobil 1 synthetic oil in all my vehicles for years and am happy with their oil, so I hope all is well with my vehicles. I still have a Mobil oil filter for my Yamaha and one for my Buick, I don't know whether to try those or maybe I should just chuck them? I noticed they have fewer holes in the base than the Fram filters. Thanks again for your honest opinions, I appreciate the info.

I agree the designs are very similar now. Mann+Hummel owns several brands and Bosch used to have a joint venture with Purolator. There’s quite a bit of overlap in technology and the OEs and boutique brands are being built by one of the big 4 anyway. I think the biggest differences in the filters you’re looking at are in the materials (media and ADBV) and the differences can be subtle. What I don’t know is what impact a high performance oil filter has over a standard high quality filter in terms of keeping the oil clean over a 5,000-7,500 OCI. They all work about the same in real world applications.

I like that you use low RPM "clear flood mode" to crank the vehicles after an oil change. I will have to start doing that as well as most wear really happens at engine startup. As a side note, WIX does make some damn fine filters, and they make all of NAPA's filters. Also, you didn't spend the money for nothing.

Champion labs makes mobil-1, super tech, K&N, Royal Purple, and Amzoil. There you go that is it those companies are all that make oil filters. I personally use Wix because they actually use OEM specs for the bypass valve at 27 PSI which is required for my engine. Anything less would cause the filter to run in bypass the whole time because my oil pump is at 20 PSI. Fram has their bypass valve set at 5-10 psi. everyone else it is crapshoot on the setting.

Fram Wins, as it stands alone in first place; a well deserved victory. Not only Fram is the Pioneer that invented the oil filter in 1934, but their filters are the best (No one makes it like the originator). Well done, friend; and thank you for selecting Fram as first choice.

Sometimes the new kids on the block take the existing formula and make it better then the original. As much as I like Fram, they’ve been selling POS el cheapo filters since the beginning and only recently upped their game to the ULTRA. So they just now finally built a filter worth a damn. I never gave Fram a second look when they just had the orange can of death and “tough guard” (slightly longer, more dragged out death) LOL.

Had a K&N fail on my motorcycle such that no oil was passing. It basically leaked out around the filter base under pressure. In researching the issue, it seems that this occurred several times to race teams on the track and you will find that many tracks now require OEM oil filters because of this defect. I also discovered that K&N changed their manufacturer for a short time and it was those filters that failed. They are probably OK now, but an Oil filter is not something I want to worry about. I pretty much discovered what you did. Every filter is based on one of about 3 major manufacturers. Variations in drain back, filter media, pressure relief, and some internal materials are really the difference. The more premium use better internals and the real budget stuff is crap. Ultimately, I choose Purolator One for stuff that runs only a limited amount in a given year and Purolator Boss for stuff that runs a lot. Amsoil is used for my fluids. All my engines get fresh oil in the Spring roughly a year in service. From the big tractor that maintains the gravel roadway and sees about 60 hours a year to my motorcycle that sees maybe 10,000 miles a year to my 2009 Volvo that is still running strong after 14 years and just shy of 200,000 miles.

@@FordBossMe - it makes all the logical sense to use a filter with the BEST filtration during engine cleaning because you want that carbon OUT OF THE OIL as quickly as it’s dissolved and suspended in the oil. You don’t want tiny particles floating around while passing thru your average oil filter. Use the best filter (Fram Ultra in this case) to keep the oil CLEAN and limit the damage to engine components from all the carbon that’s COMING OFF. I can’t believe that after all this testing you still don’t believe what you yourself have been preaching to the crowd. Lol. Use the best or else it’s a waste.

I use to rep for CarQuest....we used to cut open filters. We also had factory reps come in to train. One thing I know for sure is the NAPA, CarQuest and WIX are the same filter. Wix just takes their regular filters and puts the other names on them...I am talking about the top of the line, not the discount filters. I have even opened a CQ filter box and found a Wix filter in it. I agree about fram on the three lower end filters....but the Ultra seems to be well made, I have seen several tests on it....but the problem with Fram is, you never know when the change to a cheaper style is going to take place so you will have to check it every time.

I have discovered that the Fram XG Ultra Synthetic has a little higher pressure drop, as compared to some other filters. This makes sense, as it has superior filtration characteristics that are probably due to a more densely packed filter medium. I went with an Ultra filter that was about 50% taller than the filter that was called for my car, in the belief that the increased filtration area would reduce the pressure drop. I've just gone with the Fram Endurance that I believe has similar filtration characteristics to the Ultra, only a larger capacity for holding dirt.

So if you're looking for the best bang for your buck the Fram Titanium or Fram Ultra synthetic is the best bang for your buck The purolatorboss is a little bit more expensive and it has about a 5000 mile less of a oil change interval so it's probably going to flow a little bit better.... it's rated for 15000 miles where the ultra synthetic from Fram is rated for 20000 So the Fram Ultra synthetic is probably better at filtering but the Purolator boss is better at filtering and flowing together just rated a little lower for mileage
