Oil filter Fram or Wix
2018 Honda Fit EX. Using 0W16 Amsoil, oil filter my car likes is WIX 57356XP Oil Filter. Transmission fluid I use Amsoil CVT. All working fine. Been using it for like almost 2 years.
Wix oil filter and crush washers from Amazon. Though I have gotten crush washers from the dealer. Napa Gold oil filters are Wix, which are arguably among the best oil filters, so I've gotten those oil filters too.
Oil from Walmart. Any 0W-20 synthetic is fine, even the Supertech, though I've used Mobil One. I need a long funnel in my 2nd generation Fit because of where the oil cap is.
I tried several different combinations of filter and oil on a 4.0 with 180k. Decided to give T6 and a WixHD filter and everything has been amazing since. Almost all of the little issues seem to have disappeared since I switched.
I actually use a Carquest blue-line filter which is literally a rebadged WIX. Even the part numbers match.
Went ahead and swapped out the factory fill oil after a few hundred miles. I heard they use a synthetic blend so it had to go. Went with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 and a Wix HD filter. Oil changes are so easy on these.
In that short time that engine oil made idle smoother, so highly recommend.
I pulled off the suspect filter and put a new one on. Unfortunately, I had several variables at play, and could not isolate root cause. Initially, the new filter didn't seem to make much of a difference. It quieted down a little.
i had the same issue, when i changed to an OEM oil filter, (not a Fram as the original owner) the problem went away...
ive been using that fram filter since my girl got her '94 2.0 jetta and i thought it was the oil pump about to go... her oil light only goes on when shes driving slow but she'll downshift and once it goes up in rpm's the light goes off...
I have a 94 ABA 2.0L Jetta. Changed the oil and installed a ph2870A filter, took it for a drive and the buzzer would come on. The oil light come on..and at certain point at 4k rpm a 90miles under light load...flat road the light would come on...and then go off..
