Was browsing around looking for something else car related and came across a 'never buy this oil filter' clip. So of course. I watched it. Then watched a second linked one. Both of them came down pretty heavy on the orange FRAM brand. So I go look and sure enough, that's what I put on my -6 a while back.
Guess I figured a name-brand is as good as another. Has anyone had a bad experience with FRAM, or what is a suggested brand/type for the -6. Still running dino oil if that makes a difference. |

If at all possible, I always go with the OEM filters. On my 6 I have a Mahle oil filter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
