I try and make an oil filter inspection video every Friday on this CZcams Channel, Thank You!
Thanks for your awesome review!
@@jamienoel Hi Jamie,
You're Welcome and Thanks for the oil filter👍
Delivering mail 90 miles a day 6 days a week is the perfect scenario where using a good synthetic oil and a good quality oil filter is worth the money.
My mailman was a long time customer before he retired from the Postal Service. He ran a 1997 Tacoma 4-cylinder on his rural route for 20 years straight. He ran plain old Valvoline 5W30 and a Toyota oil filter every 5-7K miles. The truck had 400K miles on it when he retired and he sold it to another rural mail carrier and I assume it’s still totin the mail. In the 400K that I kept it serviced for him he never had an engine repair. Not even a timing chain. They were one well engineered truck from 97-2003. The best Toyota trucks ever produced.
And don’t forget. …. It’s SuperTech , which can be had for $22.49 .
Roughly $31 bucks for oil and filter. Now that’s a bargain if ever there was one.
Have you seen the price of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum ? It’s great oil , but come on !
@@prevost8686Valvoline is the bomb
Fram ultra is a very Oil GOOD filter from Fram 💯
Those filters are very impressive. It was very nice of Jamie to send you the used filter to inspect. It's one thing to see a filter before it has been used but seeing it after being used really shows the quality of the filter. Another great video. 👍👍👍
Thank You👍
Her Jeep is literally a mail jeep without being a actual mail jeep ! That filter worked as hard as a mail carrier & sorted out all the stuffs
The Fram Ultra is becoming my go to premium filter. I normally use Wix XP, but I can't always find the Wix XP. The Fram Ultra always seem to be in stock for all three of our vehicles. Nice review Whip.
Thanks, Chris👍
Those are great filters, for the price you can’t beat them and the grippy coating on the end makes them nice to work with. I used to always use the wix xp, but these are just as good for way less $
These are great filters, but the new Fram Endurance available only at Walmart is physically identical to the Amsoil EAO and Royal Purple Extended Performance made by Champion labs. They are $12.97 for every single model of the FE product line. It has a fully Synthetic filter media and worth the extra few dollars. These were the top model until the Endurance model was released. But again, they are IDENTICAL besides the exterior label as Amsoil and RP filters. I use both Amsoil EAO and Fram Endurance. This channel has a video that opens an Amsoil and Fram Endurance together and compares them.
czcams.com/video/eIy_5SbvJWo/video.html
Just food for thought!
I hate the grippy stuff, makes it all but impossible to remove the filter using a cap wrench. That is my preferred filter removal tool. What happens is cap wrench slips inside on the grippy stuff, and filter won't. Otoh, the new Endurance filter has a nice texture coating and can still use cap wrench.
@@faxmen09 I was going to say that last portion. I have three filter removal tools. One is the metal I believe 74mm that hooks to a socket, I have a pair of filter wrench pliers and one strap style. I work on different vehicles, so I have a whole set of the metal attachments, but the Endurance filter was able to use the standard one I use for any other filter on one of my vehicles. I also run a larger length filter that is about 1.5" but same circumference and thread pitch for more filtration media. But on my vehicles with the grip coating, with a glove on, I can spin it off without the filter wrench. That sometimes mean it was overtightened on install. You really shouldn't need to crank it off with a wrench, if you oiled the gasket well. It's not an aircraft, it just needs to be tight and sealed.
Great video, thanks!! I've been searching for a video of the newer Ultras with the louvered center tube. We know this model went from wire backed full synthetic media to the cellulose/synthetic blend with no wire backing, wire backing not needed with the rigid cellulose layer. The louvered tube looks like a larger diameter than the older tube with holes, so the pleats are shorter & more sturdy. There were reports of media tearing after "cheapening" it, so I presume the larger center tube remedied that. For 7,000 miles, it didn't even have wavy pleats. These filters claim they're good for 20,000 miles, but I think 7,000 is pushing it, I'd keep it under 5,000 miles.
You're Welcome👍
I was gonna say that's a lot of miles because I have a 2017 and it has 62000 miles on it. Fantastic to hear jamie does her own maintenance. Great video Pete !! 👍🏼🇨🇦
Thanks 404!
Yep, she puts a lot of miles on that Jeep😊
Finally looks like they stepped up their game with the Ultra. Been using the Motorcraft for years but with the recent quality control issues i"ve been seeing, i'm gonna give this a try on my next oil change in February '24. Can't beat that price.
Thanks Whip. I often use that same combo. Props to Jamie. She is one hard working young lady.
You're Welcome, Rick!
👍 to Jamie
GOOD FOR U JAMIE! Nice to know women who take pride in her vehicle. I wonder if u should change every 5,000 miles.being its a route, idles alot, & severe usage. Or try a different oil brand & change @ 7,000. A lot of carbon. And look for gasoline that is a top tier gasoline. Google who has it in your area. And google "top tier" for an explanation. But its basically gasoline with superior detergents. 👍✊🖖
And if top tier gas is not readily available, it would be a good idea to use a good "complete fuel system cleaner" like Gumout or Techron every 3k miles.
@@b0bsaget007 Do u guys have Sunoco? Fuel of (NASCAR)
Looks like Fram put together a pretty decent filter, cleanly built and did its job. the oil, too. the engine probably needs a good carbon cleaning with something like ATS. After all those miles, I'm not surprised.
I use the exact oil filter in my Vanderhall 1.5l turbo and I fill it's a good filter.
Great Video WhipCity!!! That’s a lot of miles. Synthetic oil is the way to go
Thanks Wrenching👍
Hey friend hope your having a great day watching in full 👍
Thanks, friend😊👍
A "Fram" with louvers, heresy. Oh the Humanity! 🤣 Be the first to admit, not real fan of the new cheapened media Ultra, but this one looks fine. While Jamie's driving is stop and go, it's also vast majority at operating temps, easiest on oil. It's like the old taxi oil and filter tests. Folks mistakenly think those were toughest on oil. Not so. Short tripping, especially cold temps toughest. Jamie's type of driving, much tougher on brakes and tranny, than oil. Louvers a First Brands Champ Labs influence. Good for Jamie for DIY maintenance. Thanks for vid.
You're Welcome faxmen09 and
Thanks for the Feedback👍
Good for another 7000miles. I change fram ultra in my car every 2 years, no problem.
You can do that, but when I change the oil the filter gets changed too.
The filter did a good job on what its supposed to do, filter ,caught all that soot
What else do you think is floating around inside that engine that's not getting picked up by the oil pump?
Great sharing 👍
Thank You👍
Interesting that this Ultra held up well through the 7,000 miles without the wavy pleats they were notorious for when Fram first changed the material from full synthetic to dual-blend. I wonder if the switch to louvers from holes helped to keep the media rigid or if this filter in particular was just an outlier
It could be. This may be a narrower filter so no waves.
This was tremendous! 😊
Really great instructions and useful information! 😁👏👏
Pretty cool that you stretched the filter out to measure it.
Thanks Jennifer👍
Great job Pete
One of these days I want to install an oil pressure gauge on the oil filter boss of the engine block (drill and tap). Usually oil pressure gauges plug in upside of the oil pump before it goes into the valvetrain, etc. But I want to see how much pressure there is as its entering the oil filter. Those by-passes are in the filter for people who dont change their oil forever. But you could use that pressure build-up to determine how dirty the filter gets over time.
That's interesting, let me know how it works out👍
I just re-watched this, you see at the 2:35 mark the leaf spring (or bracket) that has the bypass valve in it has ripples at the mating surface with the end cap? I'll bet this wouldn't pass the flashlight test.
Great info full watch 👍
Thank you 👍
Thank s
Jamie, SuperTech is very good oil, with the mileage on your Jeep, Try the High mileage ST oil, it is better formulated for higher mileage vehicles.
Good idea, thanks!
The High Mileage version adds some seal conditioners (swellers), which could be helpful with leaks. Beyond that, essentially the same.
Wow a she. That’s a keeper.
😄
To measure pleats depth and thickness divided by 2 should give an accurate measurement without chopping .
I put this fram filter on a 2017 subaru crosstrek which has a upside filter. The engine rattled on start up when cold. I changed to a Bosch premium and it hasn't done it since. I guess the anti drain back valve didn't work
Maybe you got a bad one? Thanks for Sharing👍
Looks good Pete! Another good video and sharing. Take care. Ella and I are going to the Big E today! Here comes trouble, lol 😆. Have a good one! Merri :)
Thanks, Merri
Have fun😊👍
Thanks. We tried to get Ella on the slide but she chickened out. Dennis and I went, it was a blast but I'm definitely feeling my age today! Oh well! Merri :)@@WhipCityWrencher
@@SimpleTastyFood2024 LOL, I don't blame her, I probably wouldn't go down it either. That thing is high and I don't like heights. Glad you had a good time😊
I'm getting daring in my old age, lol.😅@@WhipCityWrencher
Thanks Whip didn’t these filters used to have holes instead of Louvers
Hi Clyde
Yes they did, I wonder if they changed them on this filter size only. Time will tell😊
Wow a Fram with louvers?
Had roaches in oil filter tried to shake them all out. They will not do any harm to new oil.
🪳🪳🪳 guess they had some bugs in the system 😁
That’s off a 2.4l multi air motor just use the Mopar oil filter 339
The XG series seems to be an adequate filter, but the lower level garbage Fram makes in the orange can of death shouldn't be used on a lawnmower, let alone a car.
The Fram Endurance is physically identical to the Amsoil EAO and the Royal Purple Extended performance. This channel has a video comparing them inside and out. I do agree that the bottom models of Fram are not the best, but the Endurance is the best model, and the Ultra Synthetic is about the same as the Mobil1 filter. But the stigma that Fram is bad has to stop. Once you watch the video, your mind will be blown.
czcams.com/video/eIy_5SbvJWo/video.html
Food for thought!!
That's pretty well contructed, considering it's a Fram. Their basic orange filters are garbage. What isn't paper (even the drain back valve!) is just glue on those. They are cheap so you get what you pay for.
I think Honda and Subaru use Fram orange can design for their OEM filter.
Lk230❤️😂😇bravo
She may want to consider changing the oil and filter sooner.
Just remember, color of the oil has nothing to do with the quality of the oil additive, wear packages, and TBN. Diesel oils are black in a few minutes. Some oils like Royal Purple come dark out of the bottle. The only way to know if an oil needed to be changed sooner is by Oil analysis by Blackstone labs. I do agree for that year and mileage the owner should be using a High-mileage Extended Performance from Valvoline Extended Performance High-mileage, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (Jeep OEM fill), or one of the other major brands. But Walmart Supertech oil and Kirkland Costco oil are all made by Warran Oil company. They did not do very well in VIRGIN oil analysis in comparison to the other 15 oils it went up against and break down much faster than another brand off the shelf. For $10 bucks more you get all five of the top brand and top-level oils. Engines are far too expensive to not being using the best filter and oil for your vehicle. Many people believe in this scenario that oil should have been changed between 5000-6000 miles. But we would only know that with a report.
Without a UOA impossible to say that. Even then, UOA only useful with trending many together to tell. Since her driving is at mostly all operating temps, this oci/fci might be ok. Using a good synthetic oil and a decent efficiency rated filter, OCI might be fine. I wouldn't be too concerned if my Renegade.
@@faxmen09 100% agree with this fella. Basically, what I said, but he did the Reader's digest version. I am just long-winded. I would recommend a better Synthetic oil and filter from my personal experience. I service five vehicles and do oil analysis every other time or each time I try a different oil in a different engine. But if it was my Jeep, which I have a GC Overland that we test, and I run the best oils possible and have them tested. Those Mercedes engines and transmissions are actually quite easy on oils. The other Hemi eats through the oils faster. But ever vehicle, engine and driving style varies.
@@Balticblue93 Yeah, I was basically agreeing with what you said, just saying it a different way. Super Tech Full Syn 10k mile version, been tested in many VOA's and UOA's, pretty respectable add package. Solid certs and approvals. The Ultra oil filter, while not what it was in OG version, (two layer full synthetic wire backed media), still has a solid ISO efficiency rating. Hopefully First Brands can still be trusted on that one. "Perhaps" Jamie "might" consider shortening up the interval some, but I can't conclude what she did on this one, bad for the engine. Oh, Jamie's Renegade, 'basically' a Fiat.
@@faxmen09 I agree we are saying the same thing, but the Fram Ultra Synthetic has been superseded by the newr Fram Endurance (FE series available at Walmart for $12.97), which is identical inside and out to the Amsoil EAO and Royal Purple filters. It has the wire mesh and full Synthetic media. Once cut open then we learned that Champion labs makes them all and the only different is the labeling on the exterior.
She would never know the oil condition with an OA as we both have stated. But for $10 more you can buy a far better oil that should be used, but I assume she doesn't do her own oil changes or have someone like a husband or someone to it, so it is what they put in at Walmart or Costco since they are the same oils from Warren oil company.
When I was a lube tech at the Honda dealership, the master tech had said once " if you value your car, you'll never use Fram". They literally void warranties. Never use Fram.
He probably watched too many Orange Can of Death videos. 🤣LOL
Oh bullshit, no Fram filter voids any warranty, unless changed improperly or not using the correct model. The Fram Endurance is physically identical to the Amsoil EAO and the Royal Purple Extended performance. This channel has a video comparing them inside and out. I do agree that the bottom models of Fram are not the best, but the Endurance is the best model, and the Ultra Synthetic is about the same as the Mobil1 filter. Their use wouldn't be legal to void a warranty and they would lose in court. There is nothing in the owner's manual that says you cannot use FRAM, or it will void your warranty. But any current day filter will filter just as good as the OEM filter. Many OEM filters are made by the same manufactures. There is no need to spread nonsense about voiding warranties because of a brand of oil filter being used. This isn't the 1970's anymore. The stigma of Fram being badly needs to go. The Endurance is about as good as they come. And WIX branded filters are made by Mann+Hummel a completely different manufacture that also does Purolator and Bosch.
Search for the video on this CZcamsrs list of Amsoil filter vs Fram Endurance. You won't be saying all this bs, once you watch the video.
Actually there was a period of time that Fram filters did void warranties and Fram are the cost of numerous small block Ford engines. I was a Ford technician back in the late 80s-early 90s and numerous 5.0 Ford engines were coming in knocking with no oil pressure. Every single one had Fram’s can of death on them. Ford issued a TSB instructing all dealers who had a 5.0, 5.8 knocking with low oil pressure and a Fram filter installed on it to remove the engine, do not drain the oil out of it, and don’t touch the Fram filter installed on it. The district service managers were inspecting the filters and it was clearly evident that the filters had collapsed and starved the engines from oil. It was an absolute nightmare for the owners who were stuck in the middle. When FoMoCo got involved Fram paid for a number of engines just at the dealership where I worked.
Fram’s budget filters have always been garbage. Obviously their top shelf Ultra filters are better quality but I would not put one of their Orange Can of Death filters on anything. It amazes me that people will put a POS filter on the most expensive component in their vehicles. I can’t count how many times I have removed one and it’d be completely empty of oil because the ADBV was useless. Just because someone says “ I’ve run cheap Fram filters for years and never had a problem “ doesn’t mean they got their money’s worth or that the filter performed like it should. It’s not like much better quality filters are super expensive. I’d say on average a customer can pay $1 more for a better quality filter.
Good video Pete. It’s still a Fram, a piece of shyt.
🤣LOL. Thanks
Fram ultra is one of the best out there. Educate yourself
Anyone can see the fram xg is a well built filter
