Good information in the video. There are good filter choices available beyond those covered above......but for the same reasons. Probably one of the first disseminators of this info was bobistheoilguy.com. For years that site has dissected, examined, and rated oil filters.

several years back I was reading on a forum about Kias of all cars, and they were saying that Frams messed with your oil pressure.

Switched to Wix back in early 90's. If you check the part numbers, you'll see Napa numbers share the last four Wix digits. The Napa filter lookup even uses Wix's filter lookup application.
Napa Filter Lookup Wix Filter Lookup Have also used Mobil1 synthetic filters or oem filters such as Honda and Ford.

In all fairness, the Fram brand name of oil filters isn't universally bad. The Fram Ultra series of filters have the same features of the other quality filters. And they have a commensurate price of course.

Napa Gold or Wix on my farm equipment, and sometimes the Case/IH filters. Have never used anything but Motorcraft on my Ford cars and trucks. Been using them for over 45 years and never had a problem.
