FRAM Ultra Synthetic XG7317 20K Mile Change Automotive Replacement Engine Oil Filter for Synthetic Oil Changes, Premium Vehicle Engine Protection Oil Filter for Select Vehicle Model Years

This filter has some big advantages, on a Honda Element installation: mostly that it is light colored and has the grip surface. The last filter I installed , from another well known maker, was black and smooth. Since the best way to deal with the impossible positioning of the filter on the engine is to reach over the top and -way- down ,I had to use lots of light to find, and gloves to remove the darn thing: Fram has got this beat. I've used their orange filters for years, the industry standard, good price on Amazon.

Based on on-line review of people who had the required equipment and made jigs to perform tests on oil filters. These filters exceed the OEM specs for many filters but still allow good flow, you don't want to restrict the flow. I feel that is very important. Using for a few years now, have had no issues with them ever leaking after torqueing to them to factory spec. I don't send the filters out nor the oil out for testing, as I don't own the car since it was new. I use this filter with good quality synthetic oil and change every 5k miles. I cannot do better than that.

These are not the junk orange fram filters. These are very well made if you watch YouTube videos. Fit was perfect easy to remove thanks to the grip on the end. They do a great job filtering. Price here is great!

Overall really good...no leaks after install....but upon initial inspection - there were lots of burrs and metal shavings on the threads...I did my best to wipe them away/out before install....would be 5 stars if the metal shavings weren't present...thanks!

CRV likes it!

I can't say anything about the filter until I put some miles on but as far as quality it sure looks good
