Fram oil: have you used it and your thoughts?

[53' Stude]

Good Adternoon folks. I’ve been using this on some friends vehicles to help them out. No complaints. Brother asked for some of my FRAM 5w/0w40 stash. He’s very happy with it. I have 2 5quart jugs 5w30 maybe I’ll use in one of our vehicles. Anyone here used it and have good or bad results?

did you find it on a good deal? trying to understand why you would purchase it at the regular price from AAP

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

I can see no real issues with it. But haven't seen a Fram rebate on it. That's why I haven't pulled the trigger!

 

[Johnny248]

I've used it without issue. $4.01/qt is a good deal on syn oil for sure.

Got a deal yes, most of the 5w40 and 10w40 out of all of it was severely reduced.

Carquest or Fram branded?

I caught the CQ clearance before the label change but I'm almost out...

Both. Both blended by Amalie so serviceable oil

 

[Johnny248]

Yeah, Amalie

Fram 5w40 European

I haven't seen this up here, and I know that a couple of people have asked about it. This is FRAM 5w40 European Dexos 2 part #F935 I guess its made by Amalie. The sample says SAE15w40 but it is actually 5w40. The form is very small and I guess my hand writing isn't that great lol

A serviceable API SN oil. The rest is all a recommendation but they are listing a couple incompatible recommendations (and one that no longer exists).

I’ve used it with fine results for a 6 month - 5k oci It’s on par with super tech NAPA Kirkland or other house brands. I think I paid $32.99 and it came with a fram titanium or advanced auto filter of choice.

A few weeks ago it was $7.99 a qt at my AA and no 5 qt jugs.

 

[TomYoung]

At $4.01 a quart, as someone mentioned, I could see buying this. Still, have to ask if anyone was waiting for another mid-market synthetic oil brand to emerge. Without any background, I prefer to have my oil have an "oil" name, and my filters to have a "filter" name. I certainly don't think "I really love Quaker State," but if only it were had that Fram brand behind it.

Very nice. I haven't seen any deals on the Fram stuff yet. I've been running the CQ 5W-40 in my Touareg. Down to the last OCI's worth.
