Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or Wix

I change my oil filter every oil change n my advanced synthetic oil liqui moly last 9K

i keep using wix and haven’t had any issues

Subarus are honestly for the most part pretty easy to work on. Oil + filter changes are very easy. 30 ft/lbs, only use oem or wix filter imo

DIY. Kirkland 0w20 full synthetic 5qt - 4-pack (20qt total) for $70. Buy a few WIX oil filters off Amazon for $10-12 each, and for $100 you can do 3 oil changes in your driveway.

Use an M56 filter, it's slightly larger. Been doing it for over 2 years. Over the counter Pennzoil Ultra Synethic 5w30 is fine, I use Redline 5w30, it's slightly thicker at temp. For a filter, you can't really go wrong with Wix, Mobil, or Fram Ultra. If you watch a tear down of any of these, they're all virtually the same. Fram are built in America and readily available, the Nissan filters are covered in glue and made like total crap in my opinion. But those three should be made in America. Lots of oil filter brands use Fram filters and slap their name on it, Wix too in Napa's case. If you change it every 3,000 miles you can basically use anything as long as it's a quality filter. Personally had nothing but good things to say about Wix and Mobil. Only annoying part about Fram Ultra is the stupid grip they put on them makes my filter wrench slip right off.. But I've used all three and had no complaints.

The $120 JiffyLube price is what got me doing my own changes….very therapeutic!

I enjoy it. Best GF-6A synthetic is 28$, best filter WIX is 10$, crush washer 25cents.

Disposal responsibly.

BTW the oil change places, use the worst filter and don’t change the crush washer…

CRV 250K miles. Burns no oil. Think it’s working ?

I use WIX 51036XP with synthetic oil on my 97 Tahoe since I own the truck (60.000 miles) and oil pressure is great.

I used Liquimoly 5w-30 when I was NA, and still use liquimoly 5w-50 since boost. A little pricey ($120) for 10qts but worth it. Oil filter, just a ford performance filter. Pretty much any auto store will have them or a comparable brand in stock. When I was NA I’d do oil changes every 3k miles or sooner depending on how hard I drove it. Now with boost the max I go is 2k miles. Normally 1k-1.5k since I drive it hard and run e85.

Wix are better than fram or microgard but they dont beat factory, they restrict oil flow more

The car takes a different oil filter (wix 57170). The filter housing has a center structure coming out of it that slides in the bottom of the filter (to keep it in place?) and the new filter doesnt have that. I sat there with a dremel for 2 hours and made the new filter fit. Success, but its still leaking the same amount of oil.
