Bosch Oil filter

If you are going to go with extended oil changes 10-20k miles you must use a high quality filter and if not a Group 3 Polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil, an actual full synthetic oil would be best. Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec are not true synthetic they are (PAO) Group 3. Red-Line, Amsoil, and Royal Purple are the common true synthetics. If you paid less than $15-$20 a quart for oil it's not a true synthetic.

Your filter has to be high quality. Even then I would advise you change the filter and top off your oil at 8k-10k miles.

Oil filters that are able to go for extended runs are Wix, Napa Gold, and Bosch. Those are the 3 brands I trust for long term use. My truck with over 170k miles drives like it did over 13 years ago when I got it new.

Pros: long life, high quality
Cons: Fram filters fail easily
Mileage: 170000 km

Wix Oil filter

Wix. In 2003 Corolla and 2006 Rav4 + cheapest synthetic oil on sale every 5000km. Engine runs smoother. So smooth it feels like I can coast and maintain speed a lot of times. Which doesn't happen in my Subaru Outback with OEM filter and Mobil1 synthetic.

Pros: smooth engine, easy coasting
Mileage: 5000 km

Wix Oil filter

I use Valvoline NextGen high mileage synthetic blend 5w30 in my 1998 Tahoe w/ 161k miles. I usually use ACDelco or Wix filters. Depending on how much highway/city driving I do I change between 3k-6k (manual says 3k for city, 7k for highway) and five quarts go in, five quarts always come out :D. I used Valvoline full synthetic high mileage for about three changes in a row, but decided it probably wasn't worth the cost on such a high mileage, non performance engine. Plus, I wanted to use the NextGen when it came out. So far, I'm impressed with the recycled oil.

Pros: five quarts in, five quarts out
Vehicle: Chevrolet Tahoe
Mileage: 161000 km

Bosch Oil filter

Bosch oil filters. I used them to desludge 2 engines, and it CONSTANTLY keeps pulling more and more out. Only problem, they are black, so leak detection can be difficult if its in a tight spot.

Pros: desludges engines
Cons: black, leak detection
