Review on FRAM TG4967 Tough Guard Oil Filter - 15,000 Mile Change Interval, Spin-On by Jason Elliss

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best filter for the money

If you change the mileage at the factory, then using them will not be difficult. All complaints about "cardboard" end caps are unfounded. End caps are made of fibers and the adhesive adheres better to porous fibers than to metal. I've seen many inexpensive jobber style filters made overseas on bobistheoilguy.com that look way worse than this one. Someone on this forum put out a Hard Guard version (similar design) for over 20,000. 95% filtering at 20 µm for $3.88 is a lot. I have some cars that cost almost $6 extra protection and for those that I use with OEM I would use the extra protection as a last resort. This grippy stuff helped me a lot in the bottleneck area of my 2018 Camry.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Some little things
