Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter

The Fram Ultra Synthetic XG9837 is a spin-on engine oil filter built for drivers using synthetic motor oil and extended service intervals. It combines high-capacity filtration with a cellulose/synthetic blend media to support strong engine protection in a wide range of applications, including Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Chevrolet Impala.

Key Features

• Spin-on canister design for straightforward oil filter replacement.
• Cellulose/synthetic blend media for efficient contaminant capture.
• 3 micron filtration rating for fine particle control.
• Non-slip grip surface for easier removal and installation.
• Rated for 310 burst pressure.
• Built for synthetic oil use and extended 20,000-mile change intervals.

Detailed Description

Fram Ultra Synthetic XG9837 is engineered as a high-efficiency engine oil filter for modern cars and light-duty trucks that use synthetic oil. The spin-on format, standard 13/16-16 internal thread, and compact canister dimensions make it a direct service part for many GM and related platforms. This part number, XG9837, is listed for applications such as Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Buick Lucerne, along with many other compatible vehicles in the fitment table. The XG9837 is also cross-referenced to AFB7844 and B3165 for the same application.

Ultra Synthetic is Fram’s product line for extended-drain synthetic oil service. It focuses on high capacity and high efficiency filtration rather than basic replacement coverage, making it a practical choice when longer oil change intervals are part of the maintenance schedule.

What It Helps Address

• Excess engine wear from fine contaminants in motor oil.
• Reduced filtration performance during extended oil change intervals.
• Service issues related to a clogged or saturated oil filter.
• Difficulty removing a filter without a secure grip surface.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, filter height, and outside diameter against the original filter before installation. Replace the filter during each oil service and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s oil and torque specifications. Confirm fitment for the exact application listed for your vehicle, such as Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, or Chevrolet Impala, before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Fram positions Ultra Synthetic as a high-efficiency filter line for synthetic oil service and extended maintenance intervals. The filter media, burst-pressure rating, and non-slip grip design reflect a service-focused construction for routine engine protection.
