- Important! Technical service bulletin regarding vvt and engine oil filters that could cause engine damage. So should you use OEM oil filters or aftermarket? well its not that simple.
Poor quality filters such as fram filters are making some oem filters like Honda however most oem filters like Toyota oem oil filters are decent quality made by denso. Hyundai oil filters . Ford oil filters should i use them? what about Chevrolet or chevy gm oil filters should you use them and don't forget dodge. motorcraft oil filters and acdelco have been made by several companies. Fram filters are poor quality making some oem oil filters now should i use aftermarket high quality oil filters such as amsoil oil filters so you wont have performance issues? what about wix xp oil filters. is aftermarket oil filters safe? mobil1 oil filters are decent. purolator oil filters make some oem. Mahle filters or mann oil filters also make up some. factory oil filters vs aftermarket.

What have you experienced with OEM & aftermarket oil filters?
OEM the way to go especially for newer vehicles they cost 2 to $3 more which is negligible.. you're ensuring your engine is get the rate flow and pressure for that desired RPM plus the filtration needed to control contaminants in an engine
For my older vehicles Purolator, did a few oil analysis and lubricity course over the years and fram's efficiency is low compared to other competitors because modern engine use a multi pass filtration system it will work just takes more time and has lower beta ratio compared to say Purolator thus lot more chances for contaminants to harm engine components.. OEM are designed to meet the flow, filtration and pressure requirements of that specific engine.. to give performance and longevity..
OEM oil filter is always better and cheaper for Toyotas. Mobil 1 oil filter is $15. Genuine Toyota filter is made by denso and retails like $7. If you ever have a warranty issue you can show them proof of purchase using recommended genuine parts.
Motorcraft filter on my 4.6 every 3 to 5k. Cheap, reliable and made in USA
Yes they are awesome.
Motorcraft filter is one of the best.
I do the same, and have a bunch of Fords.
Majority made in the USA! We need transparency
Never used em but they do look good, nice and heavy. Considering it for my 1st gen Cummins.
Napa Gold is a very good filter. I use it on a diesel in conjunction with Shell T6 motor oil. The color of the oil seems to not get as black as quickly.
I’ve noticed that since I switched to a Napa gold reason I switched was I heard WIX makes them but a little cheaper then the wix. I know that WIX makes the NAPA gold air filter for sure
@@DiscoverObjay thanks, me too.. Anyways, did get NAPA GOLD **AIR FILTER ,LAST YEAR NOT fit my 2015 Dodge Journey airbox(* struggled about half hour, then returned t to NAPA (* no comments from Counter).. Anyways first time for me with NAPA GOLD PROBLEM (* ps I used K& N originally in three vehicles, no apparent issues : MAF, DIRTY oil etc for 300,000mi),, but relocated to,hi,dust HELENA Valley….Switched to **OEM ( MOPAR *& GMC , close inspections more frequent).. Anyways**, normally I used NAPA GO.D OIL FILTERS; THOUGH JUST Dec 2021 to Purolator BOSS ON BOTH MY VEHICLES…
My mom has had oil starvation issues with cheap fram filters. We didn't file a lawsuit or anything, just thought it serves us right for being cheap, trade it in, top end was so rough and eaten up at only 107k. Switched to using Napa/Wix filters and sometimes Mobil 1 because of how well manufactured they are. Mobil 1 filters might not have the absolute best filtration but they're large, very high quality and very well manufactured and clean all the time. Nice quality filter and even though it's not the best. I just like it because it's so nice and well made. Wix and Mobil 1 are my top filters, Purolator is 3rd place only because their size isn't as big as a wix or Mobil even though they technically are better at filtering on micron ratings. So idk. Better filter but less dirt holding capacity vs bigger filter but slightly worse filtration. I'd stay away from fram unless you make sure it's dry, rust free, and even then I've had problem with their hard rubber gaskets leaking too, the soft rubber on Mobil 1 makes a perfect seal all the time.
I started using Wix many years ago, because I noticed that a lot of farm machinery used them. I've had good luck with them so far.
Totally agree im glad you shared this.
Hello, Sir
Automobile filter trade here, we are Hebei Huyi Automobile Filter Co., LTD., we have 15 years of professional experience in the field of manufacturing oil filters, air conditioning filters, air filters, high quality, the price is very competitive.Export high quality and low price automotive filters
I go with wix or purolator! However, I change oil every 3,000 miles.
What oil you use?
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 valvoline 10w30
watchu go with for air filters
When I had Fords I always used Motorcraft filters. My last several vehicles have been GM so I use AC Delco. OEM have seemed the best bang for the buck and both made in USA. Some of the cheaper ones like Fram were either made in Mexico or China and I just don’t trust their quality. Sure the expensive high end filters maybe be made to last longer but I do Not believe in 7,500, 10,000 or mile oil change intervals. 5,000 miles for synthetic or 3,000 for conventional. The only other brands I’d consider are Purolator, Wix or Mobile 1.
Unfortunately, the blue Subaru oil filters that the dealers use are also made by Fram. So stay away from those, especially if you have a Subaru vehicle.
@Tim Joseph
Staying away from Subaru vehicles would be the best advice.
Fram makes a fine filter. Just depends on the grade you buy
Have had 3 Subaru's, only Wix filters in my cars!
Try Beck and Arnley(sourced from OEM factory makers)
Union Sangyo(Japanese company that makes oil filters for Japanese cars).
I'm glad to hear him speak of issues with the vvt. I have a 2008 Kia Sedona that had a little over 80k. I decided to switch to synthetic and extend the service intervals a little. I couldn't get an answer as hong low the original filter was good for so I got an STP XL cartridge filter that looked the same. It went about 700 miles and developed a multiple misfire. I thought it might be time for plugs so I pulled it apart and the 3 back cylinders had varying compression. I thought maybe the timing chain jumped
So I removed the valve covers and they were good. So I reassembled, (it needed vc gaskets) and replaced the plugs and started it and it ran terrible. I saw a post about the oil filter, so I dumped the oil and put a genuine kia filter. It started up and ran perfect.
Fine for 7k miles now knock on wood. Many people say that there are no difference in the filters, they looked the same and it worked for 700 miles until it didn't. Will always use kia filters on it from now on.
American made filters look like kindergarten crafts. Glue all over the place, uneven pleating. Circular holes where the bypass plate meets the element in Mobil1 (Champ labs) filters, for example, allowing some unfiltered oil. Even missing bypass valves with just a big hole instead allowing all oil to bypass. This is something.
Toyota filters in everything I can besides my toyotas, its produced an almost unbelievable change in my power equipment.
I use Wix XP oil filters in my Lexus RX350.
If you really want to filter your oil, bypass filter is the way. Can be pain to install, but the level of filtration is order of magnitude better than full flow filters.
If there is a weight difference between two filters, should we go for the heavier one? Thank you for the useful review .
Simply cutting open a filter doesn’t tell you squat! Once you get to a certain level of quality the validation of a filter (it’s filtration efficiency) is what counts. Guess what, modern OEM filters are seeing cars make it easily to 500k miles.... the oil is what matters. And the most important filter is an air filter! You need to do more research. Bobistheoilguy would be a good place to start.
Thanks, good thought.....I did switch from K&N with three vehicles, over 15+ years, moving to HIGH DUST HELENA Valley, MT( actually,never had any issues known, & may have improved some mileage, responses,) .. Anyways, definitely went to OEM AIR FILTERS, INSPECT & replaced rigorously)..........
If you drive a KIA or Hyundai, you better use OEM filter if you want to maintain warranty. Those suckers will DQ warranty if you can’t prove using OEM!
Very good video. 👍🏼 Q: does full synthetic oil work in a motorcraft FL400s oil filter. Or does it change the oil pressure or ?
Simply, OEM, YES!! If not use Purolator Pour One or BOSS filters.
why use OEM when he said half of them use inferior material on the drain back valves
If you have a 6.0 powerstroke.
YES! ALWAYS USE OEM.
Is there a stand-alone video of the videos you have playing in the background?
I do NOT recommend OEM Mr. Coffee filters.
fram is ok just avoid the orange can of death
Good thing about today is you can search the part number of pretty much any oil filter and see a RUclips video of it being taken apart and see exactly what’s in it. One of the most troubling is how the fram filters are all rusty… there can’t be much worse things than injecting rust into all your fine lifters and other parts before possibly getting filtered out.
Tokio Roki(oem subi, mazda filters)- is Ok👍🏻
Hey it means everything that you take time to help others with your experience.
In europe mann filters are the best .
Why only in Europe? They are good everywhere.
The end caps on some filters is FIBER, not paper or cardboard, Fram, Wix, SuperTech, and Champ Lab filters have used them over the years. Older orange Fram filters maybe, possibly, perhaps had problems but their quality has been improved a good deal. Today, Purolator is having problems with tearing media. Top of each brand name filters are generally a notch above the auto makers stock filter. Currently the Fram XG series is the top of the line filter wise.
Fram are really bad filters
I do appreciate you making these videos but you beat around the bush and don’t give a solid answer of what is a good oil filter yes each oil filter is proprietary to certain vehicles but I would like to know what your thoughts are about Wix and Honda oil filter
I said wix make great filters and honda makes some decent but some not so great made by fram. I hope you have a great day.
Have you ever tested whether it's really worth it to purchase a Dooxi oil filter? I saw that the purchase page in the video should be this one:dooxi.com
I just clicked on their advertisement, and I was curious about that!
You have a southern accent, but say oil like a northerner
Hyayndai and Kia are both Same manufacture which is Mann Hummel filters from Wix. You won’t get a better than OEM filter than Kia/hyaundai. That’s a fact. Mann are a top shelf filter.
Absolutely they make great quality filters this will definitely help people, good to hear from people like you
Good point! And I get my high quality oem Kia filters for about $8 from the dealer. Also keeps me under warranty so it's a no brainier.
Hi im from philippines, how do i know is it genuine?
YD or JH also supplys to Hyundai and Kia. But they are Korean manufacturer.
I've bought both Mann and Wix Europe (made by Mann) oil filters for my car and the Wix look better made than Mann even considered they are basically the same brand.
Purflux also are very high quality filters, OEM Mercedes-benz supplier.
I drive all Fords, Motorcraft oil filters (made in USA) are designed for Ford engines by Ford (made for Ford by Purolator the inventor of the oil filter) screw FRAM.
I've been using Toyota OEM filters in my 4Runner for almost 20 years now and never had any issues. I don't trust aftermarket filters.
Yep lots of tests on Toyota forums and Toyota always wins out
Automobile manufacturers don't make oil filters
@@clb_52 no but their filters are their specifications. Denso makes Toyota filters but to my knowledge you can’t buy the same filter from Denso.
they have good quality control, but they are shitty filter, more of a orange frame filter with better quality control.
@@garyzhang5099that's why I change my oil every 3k miles with OEM filters
Supertech all the way!
Best priced and high quality for all the DIYs.
They make quality you are right it means a lot you are helping people with your knowledge.
7:01 completely agree. Just look at those Otima batteries. Went from one of the best to poop quality in no time at all.
I use Puraltaor one. I could use Toyota OEM filters but I know Purolator has been in the game and that's one of their specialties so might as well use an aftermarket brand
Have you tried using the TRD Oil filters that Toyota makes? It's pretty good. It looks similar to Amsoil and Royal Purple oil filters.
I noticed toyota oem filter is longer than the puralator will that make a difference?
If I had to choose a #1 filter, it would be Purolator Boss.
They are good quality and i appreciate your kindness.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO Thank you for making the video, looking forward to more content.
I agree... Purolator boss is my favorite.. I ran Mobil 1 oil filters too but I do noticed that there filters cause higher oil pressure on my truck than the bosses. The boss is closer to what the OEM oil filter pressure was running around at.
I used Purolator synthetic media filter one time (cartridge type) and a portion of filter media failed. Absolute junk and will never use them again. I'm staying with Toyota OEM or Mobil 1. You have been forewarned. In a canister type filter you would never see this failure and not know dirty oil was passing right through the filter.
@@brianraabe308 Your rationale is false. Higher oil pressure is desired because this pressure is measured downstream of the filter. This pressure is a function of oil flow and the associated pressure drops downstream through the engine lubrication system. Lower pressure implies the filter is much more restrictive resulting in higher total back pressure on the pump. The oil pump output flow is a function of engine rpm, oil viscosity, and total restriction downstream of the pump.
If you could observe a notable difference in pressure at low engine rpm during highway cruising that is particularly bad because that is where the engine operates most of the time. Lower pressure means less oil is being filtered and supplied to engine for lubrication and internal cooling.
There is another thing I saw in my career. At one time, Nissan OEM filters came from Japan a long time ago, later, they came from Mexico, and then they came from China. That suggests that even if you are using what is considered an OEM filter, it isn't the exact filter a car was built with. I'm sure this happened with other companies, but I noticed it with Nissan first because they put such a tiny filter on the V8 Titan and Armada. Also, I have seen the Mercury Villager filter by Motorcraft, and it looks different from a Nissan filter, even though the Mercury Villager used the Nissan VG30 or VG33 series engine.
Motorcraft filters only on our 3 newer Ford trucks /SUVs w/ proven Gen2 GTDI Ecoboost series engines. -NY
Been using Amsoil filters and Signature series since year's and no issues, run it for 12 months then change. Top shelf you get peace of mind
It’s simple. Use the OE filter.
If a filter does it´s job under the service time stated in the owners manual then it does not really matter what brand you use. My father R.I.P. used FRAM oil filters his whole life, oil change every 3000mil. never had an issue.
Don’t buy cheap filters. I bought the cheap fram and it fill’s quickly. Once full debris passes thru and jams the 4 oil actuators in my variable timing (Subaru). Engine light comes on. Actuators may need to be replaced. Engine derate comes on. Very frustrating! Buy a good oil filter!
I use a fram ultra synthetic for 3 oil changes since it's good for 32,000k with Kirkland oil every 5 to 8,000k. Cheapest deal with quality products.
Fram ultra filter $11.50 and one jug of oil is $17.50. 👌
I've seen a filter media test and Ultra's media filtered the best.
Damn that's a deadly way to do er.
If it’s my Tahoe, I use ACDelco. If it’s my Corolla, I use Toyota. If it’s my dads Mazda, it gets a Mazda filter. And so on
I've changed my own oil for a couple decades and the only issue I've ever had is a couple times when dealer techs over tighten the filter and I have to do the stab the screwdriver through the sidewall trick to get the damn thing off. Never had an issue with a filter failing or causing problems if it's installed correctly. And I always change them at each oil change - they are so cheap, don't try to double up and not change the filter.
Thanks, for comment. Me too;:: DODGE Dealer uses” PERFORMAX ( made in Mexico, one *,last year USA,::& LAST MONTH :”PRONTO, “MADE in Vietnam!)..FOR MY lifetime CONVENTIONAL Oil Change .. I started replacing early with NAPA GOLD( WIX); Now ****Switching to ***PUROLATOR BOSS…ON BOTH MY vehicles…. INTERESTINGLY, HAVE NO real evidence of lower Quality PRONTO/ PERFORMAX etc……Actually should switch to Full Synthetic , do it myself, or VALVOLINE quick Chamge (:had an old Mechanic , that had VALVOLINE QUICK CHANGE, I,used for his Services some ten years ..(:& my WORK, , Factory vehicles, did too
Ps: last year I twisted the PERFORMAX Dealer Filter trying to remove, *****,& so irritated took it directly in to dealer Shop: they just changed out Oil & Filter (at slightly less than three months……) ….. historic did my own for three Cars over 25+ hrs, etc.
I used to use the Frams. Thinking I was doing a good deed..I only use OEM as they are well researched and better made than the cardboard filled aftermarket. Most cheap filters are designed for 3 to 4 thousand miles..Many OEM can go 7500..I cant speak for all OEM'S but my Dodge filters seem very well made.
All it takes in a factory is one person slipping on quality, but also all it takes is one manager to cut costs to try to get a bonus.
I have been using ac Delco filters for years never had an issue. Being a dealership tech I installed thousands of ac Delco filters never saw an issue.
I’ve always had a big interest in filters ,I’m an engineer . I’ve used many types. Today I buy a standard super tech filter and super tech HM synthetic and change at 6k.
In my 2013 V6 4.0L Toyota Tacoma I use the Toyota TRD Oil Filter. In my 2010 Toyota Camry 2.5L Engine I use the OEM filter. They seem to work well. The TRD Oil filter looks very similar to Amsoil Filter.
TRD are performance filters made for racing (Toyota Racing Development). They focus more on oil flow than filtering as Racing need more oil flow in high revs. But normal filters filter more.
Toyota went to a cartridge type filter a few years back. I have a 2017 Toyota RAV4, 2.5 L , 4 cyl. I change my oil every 5k miles and use the cartridge oem filter that looks like it is a mixture of cellulose and plastic (polypropylene....?). I use 0w20 synthetic oil. The cartridge has no metal and takes care of any rust. I buy the oem filters on line, from a Toyota dealer out of state for about $5 each (includes shipping costs), but I buy 6 at one time to make it this reasonable cost. Thanks...Jim
Been using supertech st6607 made by champion labs. Works pretty good. But i change oil every 3-4k miles. It says up to 10k miles but I would NOT go much past 5-6k miles with them if my oil change interval was longer due to full synthetic oil being used. On occasion I may used a FRAM filter if they are sold out of st6607
Supertech filters are made in USA
Fram filter I saw last said made in Mexico.
Your regard for oil changes is a good choice.
I’ve used the Fram Tough Guard and have had no issues ever. I change every 5000 miles. 227,000 miles and going strong, 2000 Lexus ES300.
I too have used Fram for many years. I have been paying attention to many saying Fram is poor. I have now switched to Wix, due to the reputation of a engine minded individual. I'm going to be an ex Fram user now, but to your point..... I too haven't had issue with Fram either, with very regular oil change outs.
@@cj1608
I love the grip of the Frams Filters. I’ve used Wix before and it’s also a great Filter. If you’re changing it out @5000 miles, you can almost use any filter and not have issues. Just my 2 cents. If I’m near the Lexus dealership, I will buy the Toyota Filter every now and then.
I always use fram on my 04 ram. 192000 miles still runs great. Change oil every 3000 miles.
Thanks for sharing your findings with us Nate. I've used Motor Craft, occasionally used AC Delco on my chevrolets, but mostly use Fram. I will now use MotorCraft, and A C Delco from now on. Thanks Nate..
As a once Ford technician; once did a used car check which included an oil chance, on my way to the alignment rack I left I giant trail of oil. It’s on the rack so I put it up, check everything is tight, oil filter is motor craft and it’s leaking where the wall meets the cap. Only good Ford product is their super duty’s.
@@SxxyCoy sir, I hope you can help me with this. I have a 2007 5.4L v8 triton and I've been using 5 w 30 synthetic blend as the manufacturer recommend here in my country and my users manual. But my question is.. I send my truck for oil changes every 5k and they have always use the oil filter FL-820S. In my users manual says that's the one my engine needs, but yesterday when I picked up the truck and I was at my garage checking everything underneath I saw a different filter they used, the model is MFL-2099 and it says " oil filter, long life" and motorcraft brand, but it has a different shape as the 820s my truck had before. Now I am confused and not sure why they did that and I just don't have the time to take it tomorrow again because I need to travel for work. Would you help me to understand if this new filter they used could damage my engine? I've never seen that model and in motorcraft web page I couldn't find anything about it nor it's specifications. Thanks.
What filter would u recommend for Full Synthetic 0w-20 turbo engines? I have a 2016 Lexus RC 200t I bought I k&n but I'm a bit hesitant on using it because of they way it built.
(For Research Purposes)
OEM filters are perfectly fine as long as you change your oil every 5,000 miles. I’ve used OEM filter on my 2012 Subaru STI. Now, I use Motorcraft FL 500S on my 2022 Ford Transit 350 AWD HR. Sometime, I use FRAM Synthetic endurance when I feel like it.
Have used Motorcraft, Mahle, MANN, K&N, Bosch Premium and Mobil 1and haven't had any problems my OCI is 7,500 miles.
My least favorite is Motorcraft but it works ok and my favorite is Bosch Premium because it has great quality with a very competitive price.
Never had problems with Bosch parts.
I’ve always used Toyota oem filters & changed my oil @5K miles. Never had an engine problem yet having a Toyota & a Lexus over 100K
I have always used hyundai OEM filters. Change oil and filter at 5000 miles. None of my hyundai cars have had engine problems
Switched from OEM GM oil filters to Purolators One Oil Filters and did not affect anything. Oil pressure was not fazed one bit and getting better filtration.
For GM ls motors definitely use AC Delco filters. gM motors have weak oil pumps and the Delco is the only one those motora like. Ford use anything u want they have very strong pumps
OEM are cheaping out more and more now.. to try and make more profit.
Some cars don't even have a spare tire. They put a sealant and tire inflator kit.
For just what you said, any filter can fuck your engine. so, it doesn't matter what filter we will use.
Hyundai 2018 Santa Fe Sport , I always go to the dealership for oil changes switching to synthetic oil next oil change .

Here in Los Angeles, CA, the Toyota stealerships sell the OEM oil filters for $5 a pop.
Do Americans go by the VIN number when ordering OEM parts?
I always use O.E filters most are good for 10,000 mi. Most I go is 5,000mi. And they normally cost less. They have stuck billions into research so why not.
If you want to pay more yes...............just change the oil with the right spec and filter on time.
Ive stuck with motorcraft so far in my f150 and it seems to perform pretty well even with the 5.4 3v engine and its oil issues.
12 holes would be better than 6 for sure, especially on newer engines where oil pressure is electronically controlled and more flow equals better flow.
Good point more holes more easy to fluid
I'm not a fram fan but their more expensive filters (for synthetic oil) seems to be decent. I went to my local walmart and all they had for my Toyota was fram or supertech. I opted for the $10 fram. NO rust out of the box and seems to be doing a decent job.
Supertech for my Nissan 2.5L.
Only costs $3
remember the OEM warranty your new cars so i would assume the OEM filters are the best for their engines
I use Wix, happy with results so far!
Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator. They're made to Ford specs, not Purolator specs.
Go with motorcraft for ford engine seems silly but the motorcraft always has the least issues with vvt
I have converted to CAT oil and fuel filters for my 6.6 Duramax. Cut open a CAT. You will be amazed at what’s inside.
Cat guts? You monster!
Lack of oil has nothing to do with variable valve timing.
I use Amsoil cartrige filters in my rav 4. The Amsoil ones have metal end caps where the oem's don't
That's not necessarily better
Great content ! Personally I only use OEM, Wix or Amsoil filters on my Toyota's. I've seen rusted FRAM's out of the box..lol
Wow that rust is bad, you definitely know how to take care of your ride.
I also use only OEM filters on my 2000 camry.
That can happen to any filter. Fram ultra has one of the highest efficiencies available, PERIOD. Better than Amsoil. Synthetic media

I'm actually going to see about getting my oil tested. I'm gonna go 5k on full synthetic with an OEM Toyota filter and then 5k on full synthetic with an STP extended life filter and see if there is any difference.
AutoZone is typically where I get my oil and they often will have a special with filter+oil bundle. However my local dealership sells OEM filters for less than $5 so the cost of the bundle at AutoZone is typically about he same as if I buy the oil at full price and a filter from my dealership. The only benefit to AutoZone for me is that I don't have to make 2 trips (oil at my dealership is expensive). I use Mobil1 for reference which is the manufacturer of the Toyota branded motor oil btw.
Autozone upcharges for oil a lot. Same oil is 10 bucks cheaper at Walmart
@loganscalf1933 yeah after writing this comment, I found that either Amazon or Walmart were significantly cheaper. Thanks
@@joshuab1707 yessir I used to go to autozone then one day at Walmart just happened to glance at the oil and was like wow I’ve just been throwing money away lol
The only oil filter I'll use is WiX because its a brand I can trust.
Once I bough a WIX air filter and it was larger than it should be. It did not sit inside the plastic box properly allowing the air past the seal. Went with an OEM filter which was produced by Fram.
I agree that OEM filters aren’t the best performance wise. They’re designed to be cost effective enough to slap on millions of vehicles and keep the price of the vehicle affordable as well as meet a standard of filtration. If auto manufacturers used premium parts like filters and brakes, they’d have to raise the price of a new vehicle which hurts them in today’s competitive market.
I personally use the Puralator boss on all my vehicles and change my oil and filter every 5 months or 3000 miles.
Whats your opinion on the Bosch oil filters? zI find they are considerably heavier than any other filters.
They are higher a quality!
I don't use FRAM any more. To many failures. Anti drain back valves failing, Threads not cut sufficiently such that the filter gasket would not seal and loose debris in a new filter that you could hear ratling around when the filter was shaken.
My camry likes the SuperTech mp oil filters. Synthetic mesh oil filter for half the price. The filter media is the same as k&n. The only difference between the two filters is that the cage that holds the filter in the can is plastic, not metal. The Mobil1 oil filter does a great job filtering, but it doesn't have a great flow rate.
Do Mann oil filter.
I use AC Delco and Wix.
So I looked up what the OE oil filter pressure relief valve was, and found that the Wix XP had a lower pressure relief setting. I ended up switching to Purolator Boss due to being similar filter material, but the pressure relief matched the OE filter settings.
I’ve had another for my Nissan was the same as the Wix XP settings, and I’ve stuck with them on my daily driver.
I also change them every 6 months/6k mi , w/full synthetic oil, since I’m following the manufacturer’s severe maintenance guide.
How about porsche Oil filter
I use Toyota genuine oil filter from a local Toyota dealer in Denmark or Bosch as a aftermarket brand. These are the ones I trust and is available at your local dealer where you can look at the item before buying:-). Not a big fan of the internet, especially not abroad. The Toyota filter in DK are just very expensive, about 20 doller + a gasket for the drain bolt. 4 dollar. 12 dollar for the Bosch filter. But everything in DK are expensive :-(
Motorcraft on all my Ford's.
I got a 96 f150 5.0l change oil and filter every 3k runing valvoline maxlife synthetic blend but ive been using a $5 stp filter never really seen a problem cant say yeah or no but ive been thinking of switching to a motorcraft or k&n any advice
Using an O.E. filter from the dealer is a wise choice. It's peace of mind to know that the design and flow rate match the engine's oiling system. And O.E. filters are priced competitively.
By listening to you talking I always tought you were a blonde guy, I Guessed it right :P
3:58 - The Hyundai/KIA filters are made by Mann + Hummel. FRAM makes the OEM filters for Honda & Subaru in the US.
There is a video here on YT proving the Fram ultra filters have way to much restriction and cause a drop in oil flow and pressure.
WixXP has good flow rates and good filtration. They tested it against the others and it didn't kill the flow like K&N etc..
I seen Toyota oil filter at Walmart with plastic wrap over the end cap like usual with Toyota oil filters. But I noticed there was slight rust almost on the end cap and so I decided to not get it.
