Ultra Synthetic Automotive Replacement Oil Filter, Designed for Synthetic Oil Changes Lasting up to 20k Miles, XG9688 with SureGrip (Pack of 1)

I've always trusted the Fram brand for more then 40 years now. Always provides excellent quality oil filters. It very easy to grip when installing. My last fram oil filter I purchased was super easy to remove with an oil filter tool. Fram is definitely my go-to oil filter.

The Oil filter is clearly used, i can see remnant of old oil inside the filter. Hopefully this can be explained by the seller ! I am so mad for wasting over 30 USD for useless product!

Great quality oil filter that does exactly what it’s supposed to. I’ve purchased this three times now because it lasts, fits perfectly, and gives peace of mind for longer oil change intervals. Definitely a product I trust and will keep buying.

muy bueno lo uso por años

Firstly, this is incorrectly catalogued as an PH9688. It is an XG9688, very different spec! This is one of FRAM's Ultra-Synthetic range of oil filters, and is without doubt one of the best oil filters on the market in 2021. Made in the USA, and the construction is solid. Some folk have old memories of some 'not so good' FRAM oil filters, but they do make a few different models, and that was quite a few years ago. These XG series filters have a non-slip coating on the end, which does make installing and removing a little easier, and a few manufacturers are doing the same. FRAM claims the filter is good for 20,000 miles (32,000Km's), however you'd pretty much void the warranty on most cars if you left a filter on that long! The dirt holding capacity supports that claim, along with silicon anti-drainback valve, and bypass valve (in case of blockage). Any good filter will have those 2 valves, but some cheapies may not. The filter media is optimized for full synthetic oil, and synthetic oil is cheap enough on sale these days to not want to use anything else. You can use mineral oil, but that's a waste of this filter's capabilities. The XG Ultra-Synthetic filter is easily good for more than 10,000 miles or 15,000km's, and will give protection if you forget to do an oil change for a bit, but oil is likely to break down if you push it too long, so follow manufacturer's specs always, especially while your car is under warranty. These FRAM XG's are a great filter at a great price, and I'm using them on 5 cars in the family with nil issues.
