Owner reviews for oil filter

I highly recommend getting the k&n oil filter having a socket ready filter saves so much frustration

I use Wix oil filters because they're cheaper than the Kawi ones, and I've used the wix brand for the better part of a decade and had no issues with it on any of my vehicles.

As far as filters: Mann. If it's isn't Mann I won't put it in my car.

Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.

NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.

A vehicle engineer friend of mine recommended Motul X-Cess 8100 5w40 for my C43 (W205, M276) and a Mann HU 7025 Z filter.

Honestly I just use whatever BMW certified oil I can find at a good price. Used Motul this time, had Castrol before that. Bosch oil filter.

AC Delco oil filters are now all made in China (but they won't confirm nor deny this), so they have a single package for all markets they serve.

I put a Fram in my volvo once... I immediately got valve train noise, it sounded like a diesel. I put a mobil1 back in it and boom it went away. Something about the valve in there volvos really don't like.

I always used Fram. Once my jeep lost oil pressure, I had to heel/toe to keep the rpm’s up (I happened to be close to my jeep shop) thinking I needed an oil pump. My mechanic asked me what kind of filter. He recommended putting a Mopar , K&N or WIX before doing the work. He told me to never use Fram again, they have (or had, this was 3 years ago) an issue with a back flow “flap” collapsing and restricting flow. I swapped filters, that fixed the problem and I will never use Fram again, even some new premium filter.
