Personally I use Fram's Ultra as it's shown to filter great and allow flow great for the price point from tests performed.
Owner reviews for oil filter
I use a Wix filter 57002.
I had the same code popping up onky after redlining. I had 2 months prior, replaced the oil filter housing on my atlas 21' 2.0t and vw passat 15' 1.8t with the metal one... off brand from amazon but works well on the atlas, so no issues, EPC would be nonstop until i turned off the car and back on. Switched the housing back to stock with a new filter and BOOM. Problem literally solved.
I’m running an adapter and using the Donaldson DBL7483. It’s a really good filter per the micron rating. Adds about a quart of capacity as well
I like using motul with OEM filters but I doubt it's making much of a difference.
I don't believe in trans flushes, nor do the experienced techs I talk to. They just push debris into places it's not supposed to be. Just do a drain and refill (with a new filter, if there's a replaceable filter). I've been doing a drain and refill every 30k on my Tacoma since I bought it with 76k miles - just rolled over 150k. Had my guy drop the pan and clean the screen and magnets on the last one and he said everything looked fantastic inside, no major debris, magnets were fairly clean.
Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.
Probably still better than a fram
Previously used the k&n one and it always leaked. After 3 filters, i switched
I've seen those leaking at the crimp now multiple times.
