Well I see you went stp which is not as good as OEM. I run amsoil filters and have no issue, I prefer amsoil to OEM because amsoil have tested at a 99 percent particles are filtered out.

Pros: 99 percent particles filtered

Cons: not as good as OEM

Vehicle: Toyota

Since I was ordering oil from Amsoil I went that route and the filter was amazingly robust.

Pros: amazingly robust

The Mazda filter has a higher capacity and larger design compared to the OEM Subaru filter. So, it will hang down slightly lower than OEM. The anti-drain back pressure seems to be similar, but I have never verified myself. I ran this filter on my 2005 Impreza WRX STi for a few years.

Pros: higher capacity, larger design

Cons: hangs down slightly lower

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza WRX

I’d high recommend doing an oil change with 10w30, putting on a factory oil filter (they’re about $10 at the dealer and come with a crush washer), and seeing how it behaves then. I recommend factory filters because for some very odd reason, I had less (or no) lifter tick when I used factory filters vs. aftermarket.

Pros: less lifter tick

Cons: aftermarket filter lifter tick

Mazda oil filters are good but there are aftermarket filters equal and some are better than Mazda filters. Call the independent shop and ask what oil and filter they use then research it.

With a good filter (Fram synthetic endurance, Purolator boss, Amsoil) and a modern high performance oil such as Amsoil signature and Pennzoil ultra platinum you are good for at least 17.5k with the Amsoil and 12.5k with the Pennzoil under 'severe' conditions.

Pros: good filter, high performance

Mileage: 17500 km

I'm currently using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 and an Amsoil filter. 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE with 44,000+ miles. Several used oil analyses flagged high fuel dilution so I want the thicker Euro oil in there and also change it early every 5,000 miles.

Cons: high fuel dilution

Vehicle: Toyota

Mileage: 44000 km

Just had an amsoil filter fail at the gasket. The inner diameter was too small causing a crease in the gasket that leaked after 4 months use. Nearly ran me dry.

Cons: gasket leak, filter failure

Vehicle: Honda Accord
