Quality Oil Filtration Without the Premium Price Tag
The FRAM Extra Guard PH9688 continues to be one of the most reliable budget‑tier oil filters for routine maintenance, and this 2‑pack configuration makes it even more practical for anyone running 5K service intervals. The filter media is surprisingly efficient for its class, offering consistent debris capture without restricting flow, and the silicone anti‑drainback valve performs exactly as it should—no dry starts, no overnight bleed‑down. Installation is straightforward thanks to the textured SureGrip coating, which actually provides enough traction to tighten or remove the filter without resorting to a wrench. In real‑world use, the PH9688 maintains stable oil pressure and clean startup behavior across the full interval, making it a dependable choice for daily drivers, older vehicles, or high‑mileage engines that don’t require premium synthetic‑media filters. For the price, longevity, and ease of use, this 2‑pack is a smart, repeatable buy for anyone maintaining their own vehicle.

As good, if not better, than the OEM Hyundai Oil Filter!
I was having trouble finding a great oil filter, at a great value, that compared to my wife's OEM Hyundai oil filter. This FRAM oil filter does a great job providing OEM quality while being priced at a fair value. So far we have been using this filter for a month, with no initial issues or leaks. It is rated for a longevity that is greater than the oil change intervals I plan on doing for my wife's 2016 Hyundai Accent, and performs great with synthetic oil types. I paired it with Valvoline's High Mileage Synthetic Blend, and it's working great! No oil pressure issues or leaks. Extremely happy with this filter and will buy again!

Good quality filter
Received the filter, Seems to be well-constructed. Packaging looked brand new however filter didn't have normal plastic seal, paint chips around filter rim. Filter does seem to be new. Installed and running well so far (approx 250 miles in) using it. Only critique is quality control from above mentioned issues and wish texture on filter was a little more coarse for more grip. Would consider purchasing the filter again.

It's a good filter
I have used Fram Extra Guard filters on my cars many times. After 18 years and 145K miles, the cars still run fine and make good gas mileage. I change filters every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. No issues with leaking or anything else.

Easy To Install Using The Suregrip Surface
FRAM has always been my requested filter when I was taking my vehicles to an oil change facility. After 25 years of having someone else change my oil and filter, I decided to give it a go myself once again for several reasons. I wanted to add a special additive, LUCAS Oil Stabilizer, and just thought an oil change dealership would probably balk at measuring out the oil and stabilizer, plus with inflation raging as it has been for the past two years, I was looking for a way to save some money. So finally, yesterday, I got my 70 plus year old bones down on some cardboard and gave it a go. The old filter took a bit of pressure but finally allowed me to turn it off, then after draining the oil from the pan, I went to work with the new FRAM filter. First I oiled the gasket, then cleaned any remaining oil from the engine base, and turned the new filter into the base. The suregrip of the FRAM made it extremely easy to apply just enough pressure to get it safely tight and I am sure it will make it easy to remove for the next oil change. After all the oil was drained, I cleaned and reinstalled the plug, then filled the engine with Quaker State Full Synthetic oil and an appropriate amount of LUCAS stabilizer. I started the car, used a flashlight to look for any possible leaks, there were none, then I left the car run for about ten minutes, turned it off, checked the level, and it was perfect. Last, I used the flashlight again to check under the car and no leaks were observed. Although I was much stiffer than I was 25 years ago, I felt a sense of accomplishment and saving some money was also great.

This is my go to filter for my 2010 Subaru Outback. Along with a quality synthetic oil, a perfect combo.

I wish I had read the other one star reviews. It seems that many people have been getting used filters.
