targeted in discussions about low-quality oil filters, Fram&#8217;s cheaper models, like the Extra Guard, are specifically criticized for using cardboard end caps, which are less durable than metal ones. This choice in materials can lead to the deterioration of the filter when exposed to engine oil over time, potentially causing engine damage due to contaminants passing through a degraded filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STP\"><\/span>STP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/STP.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/STP.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/STP-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/STP-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: The Image Engine \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/portland-usa-october-13-2023-1971-2374651905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>STP oil filters are sometimes pointed out for not providing adequate filtration, particularly for smaller particulate matter. This inadequacy can be detrimental to engine health, as it allows more contaminants to circulate within the engine, accelerating wear and tear. These filters are often noted for their appealing price point, but skeptical reviewers suggest that the savings might cost more in long-term engine maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purolator\"><\/span>Purolator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Purolator.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Purolator.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Purolator-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Purolator-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Ken Wolter \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/st-paul-mn-usa-september-23-2372258201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for a wide range of oil filter products, Purolator has faced issues with their PurolatorONE line, where instances of filter media tearing have been reported. This defect allows unfiltered oil to flow back into the engine, risking significant engine wear or even failure. This issue raises concerns about quality control and the effectiveness of the filter under typical operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"K_N\"><\/span>K&amp;N<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KN.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KN.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KN-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KN-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Fellers Photography \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/denton-tx-usa-january-19-2020-1621062610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While K&amp;N markets its oil filters as high-performance components ideal for racing conditions, some critics argue that the increased flow rate compromises the filter&#8217;s ability to adequately remove contaminants. This trade-off can be problematic for everyday driving, potentially leading to a buildup of harmful particles in the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pennzoil\"><\/span>Pennzoil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pennzoil.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pennzoil.jpg 724w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pennzoil-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Keith Homan \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/winneconne-wi-23-august-2015-pennzoil-309045875\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pennzoil oil filters have occasionally been reported to suffer from faulty anti-drainback valves. This issue can cause engines to start with insufficient lubrication, a condition known as a dry start, which significantly increases wear on engine components. Such a problem could lead to premature engine issues and potential failures, questioning the reliability of these filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bosch\"><\/span>Bosch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bosch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bosch.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bosch-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bosch-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Lozovoy Roman \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/bosch-oil-filter-cars-new-on-1644102496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bosch offers a range of oil filters, with their lower-end models often criticized for poor build quality. There have been instances where these filters disintegrate internally, leading to direct contamination of the engine oil with debris from the filter itself. Such situations can lead to severe engine damage, making some Bosch filter models a risky choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobil_1\"><\/span>Mobil 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mobil-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mobil-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mobil-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mobil-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mobil-1-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: ZikG \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/san-jose-ca-july-29-2020-1791815813\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobil 1 is generally regarded as a premium brand, but the oil filters it offers have been critiqued for not providing enough of a performance boost to justify their higher cost.
