Look at Me, I’m Basically a Mechanic Now
Listen, I’m a 37-year-old woman with exactly zero formal training in car maintenance—unless you count yelling “why is that light on?” at my dashboard. But thanks to this FRAM engine air filter, I just saved myself from handing over a small fortune to the dealership for something I discovered I could do in five minutes flat. FIVE. MINUTES. Seriously, this thing popped right in like it was happy to be there. No tools, no stress, no “check engine” light drama. Just clean air for my engine and a solid sense of pride. It’s like adulting, but with victory music playing in the background. Why would anyone pay the dealership an arm, a leg, and possibly a spleen for something you can do in your driveway with zero curse words (okay, maybe one, but it was out of joy)? Bottom line: this filter fits perfectly, works like a charm, and gives you a borderline-superhero feeling when you realize you did a car thing. Highly recommend. Buy it, install it, and spend your saved cash on snacks—you’ve earned it.

Great replacement for almost half the price.
Great replacement, cheaper than the auto part store, and functions great. I put some smell-good oil on mine, and it makes my car smell good. The airflow is great, super easy to use and install, the filter is good quality, and it's quite durable. i would recommend it saved me money and does what I needed it to do 100%.

Perfect Fit and Great Protection!
I purchased the FRAM Extra Guard CA10242 for my 2019 Ford Explorer, and I couldn’t be happier. Installation was super easy—took just a few minutes with no tools needed. The fit was perfect, and I love that it provides double the protection for up to 12,000 miles. I can already tell the engine is running smoother. Great value and peace of mind knowing it’s trapping dust and debris effectively. Highly recommend!

Fits with a caveat
It fits just fine, but the rim of the filter is slightly larger than OEM. It was a little difficult to get the airbox locked due to this. I would buy again, but this is something to be aware of.
