Oil filter Bosch or STP

5w50 castrol syntec and bosch filters what ever's on sale.

Bosch 72174 = BIG

I have used both of these with great results.

I just use Bosch

I used the bosch filter anway because I had already purchased it. It has a release valve, Fram doesn't. Anyway the Bosch o-ring was thicker and softer than the Fram's. Hmm, I bet that's why it was leaking.

what i would suggest that you do is go and get a better oil filter bosch etc. and change your oil to a heavier grade that is what i did in my 92 cab

yeah, you have to whip on an oil filter with an anti backflow valve. fram and mobil1 dont have them the dealer part is the best, imho, but bosch will stop the light also.

My filter looks just as I put it in after 5,000 miles, just dirty.

I have been using these since I bought the car (4 years ago) and they have filtered the oil fine, and also look just as the OEM ones did when it was time for an oil change.

One lesson I learned when buying oil filters for the VR6 is to NOT buy a Bosch filter. Why? They are about $10 more, and when you pull it out of that pretty little Bosch box and look at the filter, it's a Hengst.
