Owner reviews for oil filter

New Mann oil filter

Go on Groupon and look for shops in your area. I get coupons for Valvoline and they’ve always been good to me. I save a good bit as well!

For 7 years i’ve religiously used motorcraft 5w-30 and motorcraft oil filters in my ‘97 crown vic lx and it’s been great

What is important is the filter. You want to stick to OEM, genuine mini or from Purflux. This isn't so much a brand quality thing as it is the zig zag pattern matters. It allows for a larger surface area in a smaller package, and using a same size straight fin filter that does filter just as well will still result in suboptimal flow because its surface area isn't the same, all geometry. There are oil filters like K&N that claim to be higher flow, but they're still straight finned and accomplish the better flow simply by filtering worse

I just put Valvoline full synthetic high mileage 5w-20 with a motorcraft filter in my 2011, and it runs so smooth now. I used to have some noise on startup but nothing now.

Motor sounds so much better already and oil psi stays between 58 and 62

Just got my wife’s GX done for $100 at the Lexus dealership, plus they wash it every time it’s in so it’s actually a pretty good deal.

I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage on my Z with their bigger filter too. Haven’t noticed anything bad.

I did 10k the last two times and was finding some metal in my filter so I’m going down to 5k.

I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.
