- 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.
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'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
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
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.
7:01 completely agree. Just look at those Otima batteries. Went from one of the best to poop quality in no time at all.
Thank you for your professional opinion. Appreciate your time
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…
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
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
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.
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.
If there is a weight difference between two filters, should we go for the heavier one? Thank you for the useful review .
Very good video. 👍🏼 Q: does full synthetic oil work in a motorcraft FL400s oil filter. Or does it change the oil pressure or ?
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.
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)
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
Good Stuff Great Tips😄👍🏿 2016 F250 6.2L
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?
Good show and information. Thanks!!

I use Wix, happy with results so far!
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.
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.
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 from motorcraft brand as the manufacturer recommend here in my country and my users manual. But my question is..

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 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 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.
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
Hyundai 2018 Santa Fe Sport , I always go to the dealership for oil changes switching to synthetic oil next oil change .
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.
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.
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 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.
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'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'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.
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.
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 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.
I really dig this channel
3:58 - The Hyundai/KIA filters are made by Mann + Hummel. FRAM makes the OEM filters for Honda & Subaru in the US.
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.
What would your choice of filter be, seems we never gia straight answer.
Awesome. Thank you.
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!
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
It’s simple. Use the OE filter.
Whats your opinion on the Bosch oil filters? zI find they are considerably heavier than any other filters.
They are higher a quality!
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.
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..
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.
Do Americans go by the VIN number when ordering OEM parts?
The after maket filters for Nissan are much smaller than OEM. Is this an issue?
Good show and info.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :-(
Toyota filters in everything I can besides my toyotas, its produced an almost unbelievable change in my power equipment.
Tank's
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
thank you i change my own
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).
Do you have info about OEM blue oil filter Honda HRV 2017? Who make it? what is good alternative?
Here in Los Angeles, CA, the Toyota stealerships sell the OEM oil filters for $5 a pop.
Toyota dealer test their oil filters came out clean out when they put black graphite
Go with motorcraft for ford engine seems silly but the motorcraft always has the least issues with vvt
Hey dude, I’m driving a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2litre petrol. The nearest Mitsubishi dealer is over an hour drive for parts , just wondering can you recommend any other oil filter and oil ? Also any idea who makes the oil and oil filters for Mitsubishi? I’ve had Toyota for nearly 30 years and used nothing only original oil & filters (but the garage was only five minutes drive from my house 😅)
Wix or Napa
I use Wix XP oil filters in my Lexus RX350.
remember the OEM warranty your new cars so i would assume the OEM filters are the best for their engines
Is there a stand-alone video of the videos you have playing in the background?
I've been using Honda oil filters on my Nissan anytime I can't get a Nissan one I will use just about any oil filter other than Fram
what do you think about the royal purple oil filter I just put in the car.
Interestingly I use ROYAL PURPLE 10-48, & 10-44 for my longer intervals on My Vehicles, Been trying to watch for info, switched to OEM for AIR FILTERS RIGOROUSLY....
@@opera93 WIX are the best air filter and cabin air filter
so no Fram Ultra Synthetic Filter? Mobil 1 ?
I use OEM stuff for my shit box. Love your videos.
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
just buy the oem usually cheaper where I am and they are all built by Fram, Purolator or Denso might be missing one but those are the big three
Do Mann oil filter.
I use AC Delco and Wix.
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.
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
Subaru worldwide oem oil filters are made by Tokyo Roki in Japan they black in colour and are a extremely high quality with correct bypass pressure, Subaru of USA decided to cheap out and outsource oem filter production for the US market to Fram and the filter are blue, good enough but still of much lesser quality. So sometimes there is a catch with oem oil filters when USA tries to reinvent the wheel to save a dollar or two.
Try Beck and Arnley(sourced from same OE manufacturers)
Union Sangyo(Japanese oil filter company) possibly same manufacturer or division as Toyo Roki.
I use Nissan filters as I let them change my oil.
How about porsche Oil filter
Mobile one is not wire backed and has a synthetic blend media.
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.
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
@@nordicpride9708 🤦♂️
@@nordicpride9708 👎 ⛔
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
Are wix filters good ?
I use wix,motocraft,oem mazda.
Thanks for helping people its important.
What about K&N oil filters?
I've used the Fram Ultra Synthetic filter for many years. My wife's Scion has >300,000 mi and the engine is sound except for the inherent 2AZ-FE piston ring defect. That's with 6000-10000 mi drain intervals, mostly hwy driving. I would avoid any other filter made by Fram. I plan to try the relatively new PurolatorBOSS filter soon. It appears to be an excellent filter for longer drain intervals, but it's pricey. I use Walmart synthetic 5w-30 oil exclusively in my vehicles.
Thanks.. See my comments above.. I just switched both Vehicles to Boss …..etc..
My scion will last forever then lol. 3k miles change intervals with penzoil platnium high mileage and wix xp filters
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!
If you want to pay more yes...............just change the oil with the right spec and filter on time.
SCT filters are also good ones
Is K&N worth the shot?
Just use a filter made Mann+Hummel they make Wix, Bosch, Purolator and more great filters
For just what you said, any filter can fuck your engine. so, it doesn't matter what filter we will use.
