Oil filter Fram or Wix
Swapped the oil filter with the recommended Wix oil filter
When I first started to change my own oil I didn't have the proper wrench and just hand tightened my filter on. Drove like 10k on that and didn't have any issues.
I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it with Wix filters.
The car runs smoother, burns less oil, idle feels quieter, oil comes out less dirty and overall, the car just feels better.
Wix in everything.
Purolator and Wix filters are made by mann+hummel. Both are excellent filters. The Wix filter part# 57002 is made specifically for the 2.5 non turbo Skyactive engine because it does not have an anti drain back valve and same goes for oem. 0w20 only comes in synthetics so as long as you use what is recommended in the manual you can use your favorite oil. I will be doing 3-4K oci.
I use Amsoil Signature Series and a Wix Filter.
Right now I have Red Line 5w30 and a wix filter due to what I’ve read on forums
I have never liked fram, they always cut corners in one way or another.
Never buy fram oil filters they’re all shit.
I have seen Fram metal filters expand due to factory oil pressures.
