Buying Guide: Choosing Your FRAM Filter
Oil Filters: Extra Guard vs. Tough Guard vs. Ultra Synthetic
Not all oil filters are created equal. FRAM Extra Guard (Orange) is designed for standard conventional oil and 10,000-mile intervals. Tough Guard (Silver) features a synthetic-blend media ideal for stop-and-go traffic and high-mileage oils (up to 15,000 miles). Ultra Synthetic (Gold) is the premium choice, utilizing dual-layer synthetic media to protect full-synthetic engines for up to 20,000 miles.
Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filters
Don't breathe exhaust fumes and pollen. FRAM Fresh Breeze cabin air filters are uniquely formulated with Arm & Hammer baking soda and activated carbon. This combination physically absorbs dust and allergens while actively neutralizing musty odors from your vehicle's HVAC system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a FRAM Ultra Synthetic filter with conventional oil?
Yes. While the FRAM Ultra Synthetic filter is heavily optimized to work with the long drain intervals of full synthetic motor oil, it provides incredible filtration (99%+ efficiency) for conventional and synthetic-blend oils as well.
How often should I change my engine air filter?
FRAM recommends checking your engine air filter every 12,000 miles. A dirty air filter restricts airflow to the combustion chamber, which can reduce horsepower and decrease fuel efficiency. If you frequently drive on dusty, unpaved roads, you should replace it more frequently.
