Good to know it's an improvement I'm tired of trying to convince people FRAM is more than fine with regular maintenance intervals I work with a guy who swears FRAM filters are garbage based on some obscure test he won't elaborate on that I suspect to be biased and outdated. He runs WIX XP filters and Valvoline full synthetic but he goes 4 or 5+ months between oil changes he just waits to hit 3K and then changes it. He short cycles it hard too, half a mile to and from work twice a day.

[@scottjohnson5449]

called the amaile oil line... turns out to be a sales pitch for a med. alert bracelet... called fram corp. the tech line... the guy i talked to had NO CLUE what i was talking about... he says the who ever makes the oil bought the fram name to put on the can's cant tell me even who it is... just that THEY bought the right's to put there name on the jug's... inless i did some thing wrong...if i did pls. point me in the right direction... the reason i want to know is i use only mobil 1 oil and filters... IF the FRAM OIL AND FRAM FILTERS are better then id like to see the proof ...ya know..see what you are seeing...if it is true than ill switch out to fram..cuz i have my truck and wife's car due for oil change soon..... please and thank you!!!

[@patmurphy2472]

Champion Labs make Mobil 1 and K&N filters. They also make other brands. Pretty much any filter designed for synthetic oil will be OK. Personal preference aside, I follow the severe service mileage suggestions. The Boss is correct in saying that extended oil change intervals do harm, especially on boosted applications.

[@warrenself]

Mann & Hummel began making the Mobil 1’s recently. They’re like a Purolator but have a different base plate.

[@markmills344]

Filters aren't designed for synthetic oil. The name "synthetic oil filter" simply means the filter uses synthetic filtration media. Paper, celluouse, and composit filtration medias, are fine to use with synthetic oil.

I was just wondering the other day who was making the motor oil for Fram. Now I know. Thanks Ford Boss! Also, I have to say from personal experience and I have been changing oil since I was a kid and I’m 52 years old. I also worked on cars and trucks for a living for 17 years and I’ve NEVER had a Fram oil filter cause engine problems or damage on anything I owned or anything I put one on. The KEY IS TO CHANGE THEM REGULARLY. I think any good mechanic will agree with me.

[@aaronhansen8037]

I’ve watched several videos about the Fram Ultra filter, and others . I think the Fram Ultra has one of the best filter media’s for the value. I still would pick a Purelator Boss over the Fram. But all have their pros an cons. The key is to change your oil, and filter regularly.

[@FordBossMe]

The sad part about all this is at 99% efficient the Mobil 1 extended performance filter can only filter 30 micron The Fram Ultra and titanium bolts filter at 99% 20 micron I think it's pretty clean cut-and-dry where the better filter is

The Fram PH (orange can) was bad many years ago, but over the last 10 years on BITOG there have been only a few that have looked bad after an extended OCI, but none have "come apart" like many seem to still think. There have been way more Purolators and Motorcraft oil filters that have torn media posted on BITOG than Fram orange cans. And the Fram PH has an efficiency of 95% @ 20u, which is pretty good efficiency, and it has a silicone ADBV. Many PH filters cut open and posted after 5000 - 8000 miles of use that look fine. The "orange can of death" will never die, even though there's no real problem with it these days.

Rick, my perspective goes back to 1964. At 17 I used Fram filters and Havoline 10-40. Everyone back then said I was a fool, the filters were shit and the Texaco oil was shit..yada, yada, yada. I changed oil back the every 2k. Just regular college kid driving. NEVER ONCE HAD AN ISSUE, EVER on my engines. Now I know oil in newer cars are more critical than in the days of the SBC. I have a 20 year old Mercury and I use synthetic and motorcraft filter. I am too gimped up at 74 years so I hire the job out. I would drive this car anywhere. Of course I take excellent care. I have even been told by fan boys that motorcraft filters are crap. Yeah right.... Did you ever notice all these so called experts are not engineers? I change every 3k, because that is 6 months use. Yeah I could go 5k, but oil is cheap vs engines. This car will outlast me.

[@wesoblander3648]

I've used 2 Fram Ultras in my 2008 Acura TL 217K miles, using full synthetic oil. The current one has been in for 10,000 miles, 3000 miles longer than the OEM change frequency. The oil looks dark amber and not graphite gray like many times before. Used Purolator and other 'higher quality' filters before, had not used FRAM for 20+ years! I'm gonna stick with the Ultras cuz I'm impressed. Will probly stick with 7000 mile change intervals just for convenience.

Wow, I feel like I got a personalized response to my questions from earlier.

I'm definitely not a fan boy of Mobil or any other filter brand. I have only used Motorcraft 820s because they were 4 bucks but now they are getting very hard to find and have been out of stock at the last few times I went in to Walmart.

Lot of people forget fram has been around longer than all of them. As long as you change your oil out when you're supposed to it doesn't generally matter what filter you run.

[@DavidStrchld]

I'm not thrilled about the 'cardboard' substrate they use instead of the metal endcaps everyone else uses, and even Fram themselves use on their higher end filters. I read their reasoning on their site (it bonds better then the metal), which may be true BUT they when don't they use it for their higher end filters? Besides that, on these filter taredown videos I have always noticed the fram seems to be somewhat sloppy with it's adhesive compared to the rest. Sometimes the end caps are somewhat off center. Now perhaps that means nothing but it just seems to indicate that quality is not their strong suit. So yes they are around forever but I just don't like what I see in their orange line of filters. There higher end ones are much better though the amount of adhesive seems a bit messy, so again, it does make me think about their quality of workmanship.

I have used the orange can since 2004 on my 5.3 Silverado. I have always changed the oil between 3 and 4,000 miles with conventional. After 110,000 miles I have been using the fram silver can. I will not feel comfortable changing to another brand after having so much success with fram. I have always used Castrol 530 conventional until it was no longer made then moved on to 5:30 synthetic blend. Never had an issue with the engine and it is very silent can hardly hear it when it is on. I now change the oil between 5 and 6,000 MI considering I'm using synthetic blend. After inspecting the oil it looked like it still had a good two or three thousand miles of life left on it. I have never added any fuel or oil additives in the vehicle. But I mostly use medium and premium grade gasoline tier one to keep the fuel lines clean.

[@MylifeMB]

I was a Mobil 1 fan for decades just because they are most consistent with quality, all the youtube filter cuters would usually mark it as one of the top filters even if they are probably better filters out there, but overall mobile 1 would be on top, that said I don't mind using something other than Mobil 1 if it shows better performance for a couple dollars more.

I know you don’t recommend extended oil drain intervals, but for someone who does push it a bit, which of them do you recommend? And between the standard Motorcraft and the larger one you can get, is there really much difference in capacity/efficiency? Would you go to the larger filter in any of those brands? Pros/cons?

I would imagine that since a lot more engines are using drop in canister filters today in lieu of spin on filters a lot of filter manufacturers have had to up their game since they can't hide a crappy filter inside a fancy spin on canister. That being said I don't think I could ever bring myself to install a fram filter on any engine and trust it to do what it's designed to do. Years ago when the "orange death can" fram was the only filter they made I got burned by some quality control issues more than once and since then I just haven't been able to bring myself to use another one. Motorcraft, Baldwin, fleetguard, Donaldson, hengst, Mann-hummell and wix are what I get and wix seems to have gone downhill to the point I really don't want to use them anymore either. Honestly I'm really not sure it matters which one you buy unless there is some gross quality control problem as long as you use good oil and change it regularly you usually don't have many problems.

80 to 90 percent of engine wear occurs at startup. The flow rate of Fram filters is lower because of the increased media to get the 20 microns. 25 microns is about the size of a white blood cell. I'll take high flow rate and a good 30 micron filter any day over low flow rate and smaller microns.

[@GainingDespair]

Yeah "lets put the orange can of death on the car, cheapest conventional oil, 20k miles easy." later followed by "What has Fram done to my motor?!?!?!" A term often used in marketing isn't who can make the best product, it's who can make the best product at a certain price point. In other words anyone can produce an amazing product, the question is will folks be willing to pay for it. The goal with marketing is to be as competitive as possible, you do that by either being the cheapest, or you make the best possible product at a few different price points.

Thanks for the insight. I actually watched Whip City's video first, then yours. There is talk on BITOG that the new media is in fact cheaper, and being a synthetic blend, is prone to tearing. There is a thread on there where the Fram Ultra (and others) was tested by Andrew at Ascent Filtration Testing, with outstanding results. I was a regular user of Purolator Pure One due to the high efficiency, then went to the Boss, full synthetic, but has less efficiency. That test changed my opinion of Fram. What is your opinion on the likelihood of this new media tearing? I believe the older Pure One had a synthetic blend media, and had tearing issues about 7-8 years ago.

Then you are commenting on the new one I can't keep up with all the videos I have and I'm not even sure what the point behind this conversation is with me how do you spell the filters better and it shows to be even of they're quality If you're talkin about synthetic blend media being prone tearing then you're talking about 90% of the filters out there so you should be scared to use any of them I don't know i just try to help people the best I can to sift through all the BS that's out there that people put out because they're biased

[@bobt897]

@@FordBossMe Seems to me the full synthetic media is flimsy and needs support, the new media has a more rigid backing not needing a screen backing. The additional room allowed more media, more densely packed to support itself. The rigid media being more perpendicular to the tube adding strength. I don't know the physical structure of the older Purolator Pure One filters with tearing issues, I'm presuming they were less densely packed. I see your narrative is directed at haters with blind loyalty to certain brands, that's silly. I was "loyal" to Purolator, as their P1 had excellent efficiency at a reasonable price, so it would make sense the higher end Boss would be even better. Not. The fully synthetic media with a poly screen has less efficiency, presumably to allow for longer drain intervals, which apparently is their selling point. I understand the sifting through the BS and opinions based on unfounded rumors and speculation. Thanks for the help!

Great follow up vid, thanks

Nobody has spent more time talking about oil filters than you and I mean that in the best way possible. Such an important part that nobody seems to care about. I find myself watching all of them even though I know I will probably never end up using anything other than the regular old reliable Motorcraft that the Quick Lane sticks on there lol.

[@FordBossMe]

That Motorcraft filter is one of the best ones you're going to buy

[@ajmedeiros77]

Funny, many of these internet trolls that swear off the basic model oil filters that have “cardboard” end caps swear by oem filters that have the Same thing 😆 only a few companies make filters, just like oil.

[@brianbethune862]

First off thank you for your honesty and professionalism of your videos. I have a GDI engine with 45,000 miles on it and would like to take your advice and run a catch can. I am worried that I could have problems with freezing because I live in Canada and it gets pretty cold.. Have you experienced freezing of lines with a catch can ? Thanks in advance and may you be blessed. Brian

[@FordBossMe]

Some people have said if you let the can get very full a can freeze but if you're checking it off then you don't have anything to worry about

[@freddyhollingsworth5945]

Great video.. Even the cheapest filter and oil at 3,000-4,000 miles is better than going 20,000+ miles on the $$$ oil/filters, in my opinion... I just drove a coworker's 12 F150(to get our pizzas) with the 5.0 V8 and 118,000 miles and the dash was warning for an "oil change required" and according to the sticker he was over by 9,000 miles.. he told me, "oil changes are so expensive, so I go 20,000 miles now, this new oil is proven to last and save you big $$"... Yes, I feel sorry for that engine...

Well they changed it now it's a synthetic blend but it filters even better

I've used the ford motorcraft and mobil 1 filters for a long time and avoided fram because of the reputation of the "orange can of death". No more. I'm using the fram ultra synthetic from now on.

[@f2cmadmaxx]

Great information, thanks for posting this - now the interesting choice question, this is an obvious choice my my Wife's Acura - but how does this compare to the Motorcraft filter for the Coyote 5.0? Worth the few dollars extra or do you think there is something in the little differences for the Motorcraft to keeping the Ford engine happier?

[@FordBossMe]

The Motorcraft filter is a good filter but this filter still does better than the Motorcraft

[@f2cmadmaxx]

@@FordBossMe That's good to know, thanks, i was mainly wanting to make sure there wasn't something the Motorcraft did that this one didn't, such as drain-back type/performance etc.

[@Shadows-RC]

On a 2019 VW Golf R Wolfsburg edition, I put in a Fram Tough Guard oil filter lol. It had the MANN, but the Tough Guard just plain looks comparable? Put in Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP....and you know what? I don't like it. It's burning it with only 15 miles on that oil, I swear. Level went way down, and I made SURE it wasn't from the cartridge filter soaking it up. No. It's burning it. Now, I want to try some regular API Valvoline 5W-30 synthetic Extended Protection with Fram's Ultra synthetic or Purolator Boss before MI winter hits. I'm just not impressed with Euro oil. I realize 0W has more VII's, but ESP is supposed to be liquid gold, oil of the gods. It isn’t. The Valvoline would introduce Moly and boron that engine has never seen before.

[@largelarry2126]

Is this for all oil filters including the kind that is filter only and have no outer can?

I'm pretty sure the other one very similar same way

[@josephbargo5024]

Hey I have an off topic question about ford techs. Why is it so difficult to talk directly to the techs. I do most of my own work but on the few times I’ve tried to go, it’s been a little annoying. It always feels like I’m playing telephone and hoping the person at the service desks conveys what I need. For example, I asked them to do a suspension and safety inspection and sign a paper for a track day. It said any certified tech can sign off on it after inspection but the tech apparently didn’t feel comfortable. Initially, I thought he was being lazy and didn’t want to do the 24 point inspection they advertise as a courtesy. But, I think he misunderstood what the sheet was saying and was afraid of liability or something. Also, I was willing to pay hourly if needed but I got the impression they didn’t want to do it. I still don’t know why and when I asked for documentation of the courtesy inspection, I got no actual info. Any thoughts?

[@FordBossMe]

Sometimes the dealership is worried about the text not handling the customers with kid gloves and maybe saying something disrespectful most of the time it's because a lot of technicians don't like talking a customer but there's a handful of us that really do actually more than a handful but the dealership plays it as it's a safety policy security policy so nothing gets out of control

[@billghee9387]

Anecdotal, but I did an oil change a week ago on my Town Car and replaced a Mobil 1 210A with a Fram XG-2 (both Wal-Mart purchases). I notice at warm, stoplight idle, I'm getting about 4 to 8 lbs. higher oil pressure with the Fram (28 lbs. at about 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit ambient outside vs. 22 to 25 with the Mobil 1 - have an aftermarket VDO gauge set up). I'm running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-20 high mileage. Again, this isn't scientific, but my theory is that the denser filter media is creating a greater back pressure of oil in the engine while its running, which results in a higher pressure through the valve train - a good thing. I agree the Mobil 1 is a terrific filter, but I'm also really impressed by the XG-2. The analysis of the filter media is spot on too. If folks watch your earlier autopsy of the Purolator Boss, the filter media was a denser synthetic media. Mobil 1 uses a lighter cellulose/hybrid. Every other aspect of the Mobil 1 and the Boss are identical (anti-drain back valve, relief, canister thickness..). Difference is filter media. I agree with your analysis, great channel (and thank you for your service)

[@FordBossMe]

The Fram filter is a better filter overall indeed Thanks brother

The purolatorboss filters at 25 microns where is Fram filters at 20 microns It's kind of a choice thing they're both really good but the Fram does filter a little better

Ford Boss Me , will the higher filtration efficiency of the Ultra cause my oil pressure to rise or fall compared to the lower efficiency Boss ?

How come NOBODY talks about bypass valve pressures? Some open at 15, some at 35. What if your filter starts bypassing.

I have no allegiance to any one manufacture of oil filter, I've used FRAM, Mobile, and Purlator in the past. I usually buy what is reasonably cheap (not necessarily THE cheapest), change my oil every 5K (I use synthetic across the board) and have never had any problems. I find these fanboy wars to be as amusing as the video game console wars I see go on between Playstation, Micro$oft and Nintendo.

[@FordBossMe]

I agree, I like them all and find benefits to all but I hate being attacked because of my unbiased reviews

[@Pantherman1979]

Indeed, people will find a reason to attack for whatever reason. It seems that you get a group of people together; say more than 10; things happen. I've been messing with computers for decades and still see this behavior. It usually resorts to nothing more than mudslinging in a short time and really accomplishes nothing. It also seems (to me) that allot of people like to take their favorite person's account of something as truth, rather than researching it on their own.

Hey Rich, What's wrong with using Motorcraft filters and Motorcraft Semi-synthetic oil, Just traded in our 2007 Eddie Bower Expedition we bought new with the problematic, for some folks, 5.4 that never gave me any issues on a new F-150 XLT with the 5.0, I did the 1'st oil change at 4908 miles and will do my changes every 5000 miles going forward just like I did on our 2007 EXPY, I just thought it was strange that a Ford tech would be pushing other brands of oil & filters , What are your thoughts on MC products, thank you.

[@FordBossMe]

I didn't say there was really anything wrong with Motorcraft products at all if you look in the comment section to several people that have asked I've actually promoted the Motorcraft product when you don't want to go to something aftermarket there's nothing wrong with the oil or the filters
