Owner reviews for oil filter

+1 on Mobil 1 oil and for the filter Bosch or Mobil 1 extended performance filter (both are about the same cost as OEM, but have better filtering)

Motul 8100 X-Clean EFE 5w30 w/ black Subaru OEM filter

I installed an AMSoil satellite oil filter. I change it out every 15k and change my oil and primary oil filter at 30k.

I've tried a number of different filters from OEM, Purolator, Amsoil, and Prova. I will say this. When I used the Amsoil filter and did an oil change, the oil came out looking like it went in. So no, not all filter are created equal. I haven't done an oil change with the Prova yet. Not driving as much with WFH.

Not only is it fine, it’s widely considered the best option for the WRX. I have had multiple cars and always did my own oil changes. On my first oil change on the WRX I used my (at that time) tried and true Mobil 1 high performance oil filter and the seal blew and made a mess. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done. Since then I’ve exclusively used Subaru OEM oil filters and had zero issues.

Mann filter snapped firmly into place and felt really solidly built. Will be using this one from now on.

Can’t tighten these caps by hand as they need to be torqued down to spec. Also use OE Mann filters and gaskets as they will not leak.

The Miata is pretty easy to work on. But ironically, one of the simplest jobs is a major PITA, changing the oil filter The thing is buried underneath the intake manifold.

dont use fram filters, do some research online and you'll see tons of people that have had issues with them.

The oil filter on my Civic. It's located behind the engine block, and the only problem is that my hands and arms are too big to reach it :(
