Oil filter Bosch or STP

I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.

Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum + Bosch 3330 @ 7500 mile interval

Personally, I just use whatever is cheapest, as long as it is rated decently by the API. The way I see it, oil is really just oil. It's slick, it lubricates, it has whatever weight and viscosity it says on the bottle. The API makes sure it reaches those standards along with any claims on the bottle, so I'm comfortable saving money there. I've never had any issues in my many tens of thousands of miles of ownership and there's no sludge buildup or any worrying deposits inside the motor that I've seen when I've worked on it.

Nothing special about it- it's one of the easiest cars I've changed oil on. As others have said, just stick to a good quality OEM-spec filter and full synth 0w-20 oil. And it does help to replace the drain plug washer every time, or else it has a tendency to have a few small drips on the plastic splash guard by the time you next change the oil.Most modern filters will have the anti- blowback valve that the OEM filters have. I use Bosch premium oil filters and Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 full synthetic.

my 17-yo, 168k Golf 2.0 gets 5/30 full synthetic and either WIX or Bosch filters.

Youll be fine without a subaru filter, if youre using it long enough that it creates the pressure to go into bypass you need to stop being cheap and replace the filter each change and change more often.

I use Bosch Long Life D3300 oil filters and Rotella T6 5w40, gonna see how Motul 8100 5w40 does in comparison.

Avoid 5w30s most of them sheer to a 20 weight by the end of the change interval if you drive your car like its meant to be.

I've never had issues, and I oil test my car a few times a year.

I just buy a Bosch at Walmart. My Accord has been chugging along fine for past 12 years with those.

Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.

After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
