Walmart Fram Oil Filter (2024)

FAQs

How many miles does a Fram oil filter last? ›

For both new and older engines, FRAM Ultra Synthetic® oil filters deliver the superior protection you need. Engineered for optimal performance when paired with synthetic oil, this premium filter provides ultimate protection for up to 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers).

The first step in choosing the right engine oil filter for your car is to consult your car's owner manual. It is important to follow these specifications to ensure that the filter is compatible with your car's engine and oil system. The type of driving you do can also impact the type of engine oil filter you need.

Ans: The right size oil filter is crucial for proper function. Q2. What happens if I put the wrong size oil filter on my car? Ans: Using the wrong size oil filter can lead to leakage or inadequate filtration.

Both micron rating and filter efficiency should be considered while purchasing an oil filter for your vehicle. Typically, a cheap economy-grade oil filter will have a 95% capture efficiency at 40 microns with almost no protection from lower micron contaminants, which can seriously harm your engine.

If you are using synthetic oil, do you need a synthetic oil filter? No. The use of the word “synthetic” in the case of synthetic oil filters refers to the material it's made from. Synthetic media is used in the manufacturing process, rather than traditional pleated paper.

This can lead to impurities entering the engine. For your convenience, FRAM offers a full line of high-quality oil filters that work with both conventional and synthetic oils. FRAM Synthetic Endurance® is our most durable filter that delivers unmatched protection with 99% filtration efficiency.

The purpose of the oil filter is simple: to clean the oil that flows through your engine, keeping it free of dirt, debris, and other harmful particles. Without a functioning oil filter, these impurities can build up in your engine over time and cause damage or even complete failure.

You can help extend the life and effectiveness of your oil filter by using a high-end synthetic oil. Synthetic motor oil is more refined and distilled than regular oil, so it will last longer and is less likely to clog your filter.

5W30 will still flow at temperatures as low as -22°F, while 10W30 will only work until 0°F. 5W30 is also somewhat more versatile for any season due to its wider temperature spread. Nonetheless, both 5W30 and 10W30 are excellent oil options.

Disposable oil filters are not designed to last for more than one oil change. Almost all disposable oil filters will get clogged before they make it to the second change. They're meant to be used only once. Reusing a disposable oil filter from the previous oil change may cause a lot of damage.

Does it matter what kind of oil filter you use? ›

According to Jeff Wang of VSARS Filters, the quality of the filter you choose should not only depend on the type of vehicle you drive but, more importantly, how you drive it. For example, a heavy-duty truck needs a filter that can handle high temperatures and the demanding rigors of a work vehicle.

Using the wrong oil filter can negatively impact oil pressure. The wrong filter, a filter that isn't working properly, or a filter that gets clogged can cause oil pressure to drop. The proper oil filter, along with the pressure relief valve, will help regulate oil pressure and avoid spikes.

An oil filter obstruction or blockage can also cause oil pressure to suffer. Oil filters include pressure relief valves. If this valve is damaged, oil will easily pass right through, reducing pressure. It may go without saying, but it is important to also change the oil filter with each oil change.

The truth is, all oil filters are not created equal. The bottom line: You usually get what you pay for. But are there any real differences between standard filters, high-performance filters, race filters and synthetic filters? Absolutely.

An OEM filter is designed to handle the exact flow rates, pressures, temperatures, and filtration requirements demanded by your performance engine. Going with anything less than OEM quality can lead to costly repairs.

Generally speaking, more expensive filters are better than cheap ones, because they use better filtration materials. Instead of plain old Charmin, filters now use materials like synthetic glass microfibers, which do a better job of filtering the oil. That's also why smaller filters can be used.

The Premium filtration media has the capacity to hold up to 14 grams of dirt* in the filter media (*Based on ISO 4548-12 at 20 microns on 3500) A high glass content is woven into the blended media, providing greater efficiency and strength by trapping 99% of the particulates from getting into the engine.
