Ahh, another BobIsTheOilGuyer. I always cringe when people talk about using Fram Oil Filters. Their air filters are fine, their oil filters are not.


People: Don't be sucked in by good advertising....avoid the Wall of Orange. Your vehicle will thank you for it.

First off, thanks for your review!

But, I = confused about the fram part i need.

When I look at the CF10132 on amazon, the compatibility checker says it is not compatible with my 2005 Prius, so is this the right part number for sure?

Amazon recommends the CF9846A instead

Thanks Winston

I use the Fram CF9846A in my '06. It fits perfectly.
