Discount Fram XG7317 Ultra Spin-On Oil Filter with Sure Grip

Customer Ratings:

After years of using Fram for my cars, I'm very satisfied about their efficacy and reliability. Apparently, so does Honda which commissions Fram to make their oil filters for the U.S. market. The nonslip grip enhances installation and removal. The rubber gasket is of superior quality. Although this specific filter is for my Honda Civis Si, my 1991 Toyota Previa is going strong on its original (and never rebuilt) engine using exclusively Fram filters.

Don't confuse this filter with any other Fram. Its called the FRAM ULTRA, the product description is incorrect. Uses the "XG" part number convention but is NOT the same as the Xtended Guard. Way better. Has a different media for a filtering efficiency of 99% @20 microns and a 15k dirt trapping capacity. I use it twice for a total of 12k miles. No dry starts, nice clean oil.

This was exactly what I was looking for (a very wide-mouthed jug that can hold more than one oil change), and surprisingly, I've never seen another product like it.

I've always stayed away from using the bulky oil pan/container combos, because they look like they would make a mess, and are usually very low quality. Using one of these with a traditional open-faced oil pan is perfect, and creates very little mess. The mouth of the jug is even wide enough so that you don't need to use a funnel when transferring oil from the pan to the jug (so long as you're somewhat careful). If you've been using old milk jugs or something similar, then you know how much of a mess this can create due to spills, over-fills, and drippy funnels as you switch jugs. The extra wide mouth, and 12 quart capacity eliminates all of these problems.

I got this at a local autoparts store for about half of the current listed price on Amazon, and even then felt that I was over paying (but like I said, I've never seen another product like it, so I had no choice but to pay what they were asking). As other reviewers have mentioned, the plastic is very thin, and the cap does not go on very securely. I filled it with water when I got home in order to test it (better to have to clean up a water mess than an oil mess), and found that there were no leaks at all around the thin plastic's mold seam, but when I turned it upside down, as predicted, the area around the cap leaked heavily.

This shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't over fill it, but it would be nice if it were better quality. Just pick up any American-made gas container, and you will immediately see and feel the difference. These jugs are made with blown plastic, and probably cost less than $0.50 each to produce and ship, so it really is a shame that the price is so high.

Like I said, these jugs are very convenient, but due to the poor quality, and the fact that they will obviously get knocked around while doing what they were intended to do, I don't expect it to last longer than a year or two. Oh well..

I'd been looking for a product like this for quite some time: A container intended for storing and transporting used motor oil. I change my own oil, and have always had a self-storing oil drain catch pan. It held about the same amount as one of these containers, but was hard to store and even harder to transport.

Nothing terribly special about these containers. The approximate dimensions are 11.5" tall x 8.5" wide x 12.5" long. It feels quite sturdy, holds 12 quarts, and the mouth is approximately 2.5" in diameter. It seems to be priced kind of high for what it is: a molded plastic jug with a cap. But it's exactly what I was looking for, and it's the only one I've ever seen. I bought two, so as to avoid frequent trips to the local oil recycling center.

The plastic on this container is very thin. The lid is poorly designed, does not seal properly and thus leaks. If you are still intrigued by this item and must have it, go to Walmart. It can be had there for $3.98; cheaper than Amazon/Ace Hardware.

I saw this product in my local auto parts store, was not impressed with the overall quality for the price, I have been using 5 gallon frying oil containers for years ( available at any restaurant ) and those seem to be just as good as this product except they are free.

Its a large plastic jug that holds oil. Doesn't leak or anything. Exactly what's needed for the home mechanic.
