- Can't Believe What I Found Inside This FRAM OIL FILTER!!
In this video I cut open two of Fram's oil filters to see what the difference is. The first filter, the Fram Tough Guard, cost less than $4 and the second, Fram Ultra Synthetic, just under $9. I have to say, I was surprised at what I found inside.
That Fram Ultra Synthetic seems to be, to me, just as good as any others including WIX or Mobil 1 or K&N...

His Wife is so Sweet like when he asked her if she wanted to try the filter cutter and she said yes
please and also thanked him for having her in the video such a Nice Lady and that Ring is Outstanding
This was so good! Love it! The type of videos you two could do about auto stuff are endless. Tag teaming is always a great way to keep things fun and interesting.
I thot you were handsome, but your wife made you look even better! She made you so happy! Awesome couple!
I stopped using Fram oil filters over 10 years ago. I replaced Fram with Wix, AC-Delco, Mobil 1 and sometimes Bosch. They’re(Fram)not the go to standard anymore, and haven’t been, for some time now.
I hope you know that AC Delco filters also use that style and so does Rolls-Royce and Honda. all it does is it seals in Media it doesn't reinforce anything that's what the center core is for. I wouldn't really use Bosch and m1 filters as they are actually known to be crappy and only filter to about 67% at 20 microns or 99% at 30 microns which is really pathetic because the cheapest Fram still does 95% at 20 microns and the silver and gold one do 99% at 20 microns. Your engine doesn't care what brand oil can is on it or what caps seal the media it cares about how clean the actual oil is when it gets pumped around into it. And no frams don't explode a failed oil pump pressure relief valve and hard use does. If I wanted to treat my engine well I would use an oil filter that gets 99% at 20 microns like the silver or gold fram. Why not get the ultra. Costs the same but is metal capped and has the best filtration out of all of them at 20 microns. Can't beat it. And they just released an updated version which is even better at the 5 and 10 micron efficiency so the new ones should be even better yet and they still weren't beat by the other off-the-shelf ones.
@@elihernandez330 Fram’s are made crappy, the last time I looked. I also use Napa Gold too when I can catch them on sale. I change my oil every 3,000 mi(4,800 km), rain 🌧 or shine ☀️ I use 100% synthetic. While down here in South America, I’ve been using MOTUL 8100 X-clean 5W30. Can’t find any U.S.oil down here. Liquid Moly is supposed to be good too.
Reg. Me I have use WIX filters for years
@@idkwhoknew908 My engine swap guy recommended I start using Wix, when I put my built LS2 in my S10
@@regsmith7604 Wix/Fram/Napa AC all made by the same place. Fram has been and is the better all around filter on the market.
You should've weighted them and also unfold the filter material to compare effective filtering area
love seeing the pretty wife participate. She's funny too.
Absolutely keep her in your videos…she keeps you from getting too serious.
I know! I felt that. 👍
@@1RoadGarage I also completely respect that she was gonna give it a go after that goofy fella on the right issued the challenge. I think she could do it.
Love seeing you guys do videos together! It makes your channel even better.
Agree
Dang Jimmy got him a legit model & actress. She's the Orbit gum girl.
Way to go Jimmy!
Love the video Jimmy! Always nice seeing Farris in the videos. 🙂
Stick with Wix or Napa Gold per pretty much every mechanic I have ever talked with about oil filters. Always used Wix on diesel farm tractors.
Wix is the best.
@@johnwagner4559 too bad they sold there soul to CHINA 🇨🇳
@@johnwagner4559
Wix are cheaply made, had poor results in testing I once read in a article for vehicles in Road & Track as well as Car Magazine (European issue)
@@Incountry don't believe everything you read. That's ridiculous
@@johnwagner4559
Sorry my friend, these are factual based, I didn’t do the testing, these companies are independent and are not sponsored by anyone, and as one of my siblings owns a couple of major dealership franchises Mahlë are the OEM manufacturers for them, and as any vehicle manufacturer knows their products in after sales should equal if not bette than the vehicle made...
No one uses Wix filters in aftermarket OE product sales or any reputable shop/garage would either, if they do then it’s for bottom line and profit margins...
Near every European vehicle manufacturer uses MANN/Mahlë as OEM, near all Asian market made vehicles use AISIN OEM filtering units, US follow suit on some products but many, AC Delco is probably best OEM in US, the rest I wouldn’t really consider.
Another sweet video Jimmy! Neat to see Farris helping out like the CB vid... I would definitely like to see other filters included in the test.
She is the best at start learning..a lot of people don't know anything about cars but get in and drive. Thanks lady awesome
I Use The Fram Tough Guard The One In The Middle. It Works For Me . I've Been A Mechanic For 48 Years 33 Years In The Dealers Never Had A Problem. Your Wife is Adorable .i Thank You Both For This Video.
Love this! So educational and I love seeing you both in videos. You both exude a calm and intelligent presence. Great info.
It is nice having her there to ask the questions and make the comments that other folks can relate to.
Definitely like the format with you both on here. The Mrs is hilarious but also came up with a great idea and I'm going to try it tomorrow..Thanks Ferris!
Agree
interesting to see Fram is offering a better quality filter after offering garbage for so many years. I will continue to play it safe and only continuing to use Wix.
Great video. You both work well together. Good job.
I love the addition of you having your Wife on the show Jimmy 💪🏽 Content is just getting better and better!
Glad "Farris" was there to provide very valuable insights
I have found that up to +- 3000 miles paper filters, just filter better than some synthetic media filters. Past 3000 miles I would use the more expensive ones. Several tests I saw showed that paper media is more effective in filtering debris as also better in flow rate than other media. But.....change them frequently.
It's great to see you and Farris together in the same video.👍👍👊
I think that she adds a dynamic that benefits your program. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Agree
Absolutely, Faris is a great addition to your videos. Every one that she has been in I thought she was a nice addition and she really does contribute. You’ve got another video to make, thanks to her. Now go pay her!
Great content and great duo.
Great to have your wife on! She's funny, pretty and entertaining! She's a keeper dude! She does add a cool element to the show! Keep it up, love your channel, seen every vid!!
In my oil changes, I've always used Castrol Edge 5w-30 paired with a Fram Ultra Synthetic Filter; and what a combo do they make. Castrol and Fram have greatly contributed to restore the Classic V8 Rumble (It rumbles like a Camaro) in the 4.6L Northstar V8 of my 2006 Cadillac DTS.
I watch a lot of oil used oil test and with different channels, different oils and test I Ve heard the host a few times say brand x oil did better with the synthetic fram.
I only use the Frame Ultra XG10060 filter in my Ram 5.7. 130k miles. Purrs. No issues. Good oil pressure and stays relatively clean.
You guys are awesome ❤
Miss those two faces!!!! Now I finally understand what an oil filter goes through….thanks y’all
First time watching!!! Love the vid! O also sub!!!
Great video! Very helpful. I wish like NAPA gold made the filters like fram with the grippy stuff. It is a nice feature
Yeah, I used to use Castrol 20-50, and FRAM orange oil filters. I've seen something on the internet. Stopped it right NOW: Now I only use Napa Gold, (they're made by WIX!). My oil is now Mobile One, and now instead of changing my oil (religiously) at 3000 mi. Now : 5000 mi.
Great video, I think your wife should be in more videos. She does ask good questions that a lot of people might ask.
The production quality looks great on this I can totally see you two on TV.
Yes she is a definite asset to the show, she asked very good questions 👍
This is a winning format. Funny wife ads a new dimension. Car reviews would be a great idea too!
Absolutely the🇺🇸 American dream.Learned a craft, work hard, got a beautiful wife and children.( Beautiful Ring there Girl!!!) God is Good!!! That Fram Ultra is one fine filter... Heck the cheapest Fram is what you get at the Quick Lube places, with a generic label... Keep Up the Great Work👌👏👍
Hey Jimmy, your wife is your best friend it seems. Definitely keep brining great coverage as a couple, I for one appriciate the kindness!
Hi from Greece, We love you!
Innocence is part of our knowledge on cars, your wife does it pretty nice!! Good one
Good video. Keep it up. Great info!
Dang look at all that lighting. Absolutely great !
Haha! Yep, we try. Could be better but was pretty good. Thanks!!
Studies have shown that even under the worst conditions, in a normally operating engine, essentially no filter will be anywhere near capacity at 5K, and the vast majority of filters can go multiple times more than 10K miles. The data, which was done by a major OEM, is online, although I would have to dig it up. Other than wanting to drain as much oil as possible during an oil change, there is absolutely no point in changing oil filters at 5K. The end cap is also not structural and only serves to help glue the filter media together. Toyota, for example, doesn't even use an end cap.
It’s so nice to see you guys in a video together again! I wish I could still watch the old vlogs 🥰🥰❤️
Your wife is a real asset to your channel, us old (British) lorry and motor men would certainly agree.
Hopefully your other half will feature in more of your interesting films, and from my own perspective here in England please tell your wife; 'She's certainly made a happy man very old'.😃❤
you guys are adorable great video Jimmy
Now Farris doing Fram Filter commercials??!. 😂
Would the Fram Ultra Guard be good for semi synthetic oil too? I know it is designed for full synthetic oil. Thx
Good job you guys.
Should compare it to the ac delco you usually use.
His beloved ACDelco is made by champion labs who also happens to be the parent company of Fram. The ACDelco E-core filters have paper/cardboard end caps.
you guys make a good team. good video
Yaaaayyyy Farris !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to see someone appreciate Fram filters!!❤️
Dude, that ultra synthetic seemed to be pretty good.
Not really, the cheap one's garbage
It’s is . The orange can is just a 3000 mi oil filter while the guard is more miles and the gold one is even more. People that have had failures on the orange cans is because they run em longer than they’re designed to run. I ran the orange can for years in 3k intervals and when I realize that oils were improved and we can run longer intervals, I went up to the longer interval can and I do 5-7 k on the synthetic fram.
Now I’m kinda curious what the media looks like when cut with scissors. Would love to see it up close under some sort of magnification.
Hate to say it Jimmy... Ferris might end up taking over the show. lol It's nice to see her do a few cameos from time to time. She keeps you in check from the mechanic rants. Keep it up buddy.
I like the format, very newbie friendly
That’s great to hear!
Jimmy, I noticed your two camera set up and I like it.
Yet another Excellent video Ya'll !
I used the 4.00 Fram filter and changed oil every 5,000 miles on my 2011 F-150 5.0 and it went 202,000 miles and never had any problems . Just used great quality Chevron motor oil .
Farris is adorable, and should be in all your videos!
great, thanks
Motorcraft oil filters are excellent and their fuel filters are Stainless Steel.
Anti drain back valve keeps oil in your valve train and bearings to prevent noise upon cold start.
My 5.7 vortec has always got a Delco or Purolator. But I've noticed, my engine doesn't have motor knock on cold starts with the ac Delco. I've heard good about wix. No fram!
Fram oil filter and pennzoil! You're killin' me Smalls! 😂
Good little video Jimmy and yea yall should do some more videos together its cool.
Fram Ultra Synthetic filters are great.
You are awesome !
I saw a similar video years ago and they compared a few other brands as well. I have not used fram filters since. I have used stp, they where comparable in price and seemed better made. I use to use fram exclusively and was let down when I saw cardboard inside. All you are paying for is the name brand. I never had a problem with any filters in the past but I can’t trust cardboard.
Loved the video good to see your wife in more of your videos your a lucky man seems like a great lady 👍
Very enjoyable video. You two make a good team. I used Fram oil filters for decades but stopped using them around 5 years ago due to all the negative videos. It's nice to see a positive Fram video for a change.
I use K&N Silver Performance Oil Filter and Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W - 30. I change my oul every 3000 regardless. I have a 2000 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder. My air filter is also K&N. Nothing but the best for my Camry.
Good video and great chemistry. I have always read that women are the ones who drive car purchases. A monthly segment on car reviews mighty be a good idea. This could highlight what you both find good, or not so good, about the same car, and what you all might find that is not needed and/or a concern for the average family that may be considering purchasing their “second most expensive” purchase. Example of the new Hyundai “pickup” that is supposed to be coming to showrooms soon. And I hope that you both have found Tennessee to be a welcoming place, and people!
Hope you do a video on mobile 1 oil filter, thanks
Although it may not look like it you actually can run those filters for the stated mileage which is 10k and I've been doing that on my truck for almost a hundred thousand miles without a single ill effect and my dad once took it to 14k on his and it held up perfectly fine.
Love the videos
I almost forgot, I wanted to ask you a question about my 2003 Yukon that seems to have a problem eating batteries. Is there any way we can talk. I know I’m not leaving anything on and my alternator is fine.
I think you hit the jackpot there mr 1road
I run the Ultra , change oil regularly , 300 k on my Pilot , would and do drive it confidently anytime anywhere any amount of miles and yes the early Saturns were great cars
I have Chevy trucks in various years from 2011 and up. I'd be curious if you could cut open an AC Delco oil filter I'm curious of what it looks like inside. All my trucks are 2500 HDs and up.
*No one:*
*Jimmy:* _"I have a tool that can cut the top off an oil filter!"_
Folks always pick on Fram. The thing is, if you change your oil when you're supposed to, the brand of filter becomes less of an issue. Most folks do not change the oil when they're supposed to. Some never change it, and then they have no idea why they experience issues at 50,000 miles. And some use low quality oil. Yes, the brand of oil makes a difference too! Ever take apart an engine, or remove valve covers and it looks like a cross between Jello and roofing tar in there... it's not supposed to. It has everything to do with oil change intervals.
I've used the cheap, orange Fram filters for more than 30 years. I've used other brands as well. And in 30 years, I've never had an engine fail because of oil issues.
I bought it when it was announced that honda was developing a new filter with fram. So fram supplies honda with filters. And the ultra synthetic is created. Used to always get mobile1 filters, but now, i only buy fram full synthetic. And the anti drain back keeps the oil in the motor instead of back in the oil pan, so when you start the car, the oil is still in everything.
I had a fram filter on my Cummins for a few weeks cause I couldn’t find any mopar Cummins filters so I ditched it for a fleetgaurd filter and I’m probably switching to fleetguard from now on.
The only filters I use are Purolator, Mobil1, and Wix.
Ive seen fram filters fall apart before. Like the cardboard getting soft, falling apart, and getting sucked into the engine. It clogged the filter and then the bypass let all of the unfiltered cardboard oil into the motor and pump. Motor died.
Just bought a filter for my vehicle at Walmart. All they have listed and available for my vehicle now is Fram. I use to use the Walmart super tech brand, but it appears they have reduced the filter options for those. So bought a cheap 4 dollar Fram. Searched it online and I guy posted on a forum with pictures of how amazed the filter did with a whole year of use. Actually has metal end caps although it's a cheap orange Fram. Makes me feel a bit more trusting of the filter I bought for my vehicle
Hi
I'm Jimmy and i'm Farris and this is our show 😁🥰😍 miss you guys 🥰
Thanks
Most engine wear damage iresults from wear particles between 5-20 microns so your normal full flow filters don't do a great deal of protection. Best to also fit a bypass filter system which filters in the range of 1-2 microns which is receiving only around 10% of the oil flow at any moment.
Modern synthetic's suspend such particles, 20 microns is as far as you need to go.
Jimmy with another home run!
I run super tech full synthetic high mileage and I use the gold fram oil filter it's way better at keeping the oil clean plus it doesn't have that cardboard that breaks down.
This is a great format Jimmy. Ferris has a great idea on running each filter and then comparing each. Don't think I've seen any other channels do that kind of comparison on oil filters. Great video guys!
Project farm has I believe. He test alot of different things.
@@sicsam1 Yea I loved his oil test videos a while back. I'm still not buying Amsoil though. 😂
@@ubangiestomp me either. I was really surprised by supertech
@@sicsam1 Project Farm gets to the root of it
What I run on my SBC'S is NAPA'S 1794 oil filter. They're probably a quart and a half, a little longer,but I've never had any ground clearance problems. Having your wife with you in the video was fun. By the way I have a 1995 GMC VANDURA. I let one of my daughters drive it for a while and now I have issues. My oh my....
Good to know, thanks!
Most cars don't have the room for longer filters
Every oil filter has an efficiency vs micron particle size performance curve. The Fram efficiency rating is per ISO 4548-12, which has been a world wide industry standard to measure filter efficiency for the last 22 years. If an oil filter is rated at 99% @ 20 microns, it will still remove particles smaller than 20 microns, but at a lower efficiency, like for example 70% @ 15 microns, and 50% @ 10 microns.
Great info.. You are right to change oil early. My oil filter is guaranteed for 20,000 miles and the FULL synthetic oil is guaranteed for 16,000 and I change at about oil and filter at about 12,000 miles. Nothing is gauranteed so i change a bit early. (both Castrol)
I use STP filters, change oil 3000-5000 miles.
3-5k seems perfect
I used to always buy fram filters but there are so many better brands for less money. Napa gold is so much better quality.
NAPA gets their filters from WIX. 👍
Napa is no better. There all.good if changed as recommended.
The last time I bought a fram filter was about 10 years ago, and I stopped doing it because after removing it from my cars the element was punctured broken.
You two are GREAT 😂🖒
I use wix filters they work great
