Owner reviews for oil filter

Use the right oil from Walmart or whatever and I used a fram oil filter. I used a higher end one then the standard orange box one. Never had any issues.

I use Wix oil filter with every change. Decent price and is all metal with a good filter. Does the job and has never failed on me.

I’ve always used the OEM filter and Kirkland 0W-20 oil on my 2013 Skyactiv because I remember reading on the forums that due to the high compression of the engine the Mazda filter is specialized to handle that. Not sure if it’s true but no problems yet on 7.5k OCI.

this picture is an OEM [MANN] oil filter that is 2k past due on the oil service. Again, the advantage of paper filters is that I can see every single one and determine which seems to hold up and which do not. I do not cut open the metal canister versions unless I am looking for something [aka diagnosis]. Some of the really cheap ones will break apart when you take them out of the housing. They literally break apart in your hands. This filter is not collapsed like the Wix version.

people are really set on the subaru filters as opposed to fram or others, and they’re really not very expensive so i just do it.

Replacing the filter is a pain. I have a 2013 Traverse. But I have found a way to do it without spilling oil or making a mess.

some mann filters have a nut at the buttom to make it easier to repmove on g60 but tis more cash for a dumm nut

Wal-mart typically only stocks the Fram filter (gross) for my truck. FRAM (avoid) is PH2. All of them are fine except Fram, unless you are in a pinch.

Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
