Oil filter Fram or Mobil
Now I pay only for oil and filter, about 60 bucks use Mobil 1 full synthetic European Formula.
Mobil 1 extended performance 0W-20 engine oil with Mobil 1 m110a filter. You can go to Walmart and read what fits on your model year civic. The oil you should be sticking to is any synthetic and appropriate filter and change every 5k miles.
Used M1-104A, as recommended here, last week. No leaks, fit perfect
The orange can of death is only for 3,000 miles!!! Do the ultra synthetic, 20k mile filter. Haven't had a problem with them. I but in bulk as much as possible.
Mobil1 European Car Formula, MB Filter.
That kind of looks like it's coming from the oil filter cap. Did you use an oe filter and oring? I had the o-ring leak under boost when I used a mobile one filter with a defective ring. It made a mess sort of like that.
Mobil 1 filters are made by Champion Labs, which they use a louvered center core. The downside is, consistency, as the louvers have a tendency to be not be completely punched open.
I think I tried using a Fram filter on my '99 truck once, and the filter was designed ever so slightly differently and as a result I lost all my oil in a week.
Wal-mart typically only stocks the Fram filter (gross) for my truck. FRAM (avoid) is PH2. All of them are fine except Fram, unless you are in a pinch.
I certainly would never put in a Fram and would highly recommend to anyone to stay away from that company for your German product.
