Well I see you went stp which is not as good as OEM. I run amsoil filters and have no issue, I prefer amsoil to OEM because amsoil have tested at a 99 percent particles are filtered out.

Pros: 99 percent particles filtered

Cons: not as good as OEM

Vehicle: Toyota

Always use BMW genuine oil or Liqui Moly, along with BMW OEM M oil filters, which are made in Austria and feature an ultra-fine mesh for superior filtering.

Pros: superior filtering

With a good filter (Fram synthetic endurance, Purolator boss, Amsoil) and a modern high performance oil such as Amsoil signature and Pennzoil ultra platinum you are good for at least 17.5k with the Amsoil and 12.5k with the Pennzoil under 'severe' conditions.

Pros: good filter, high performance

Mileage: 17500 km

I'm currently using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 and an Amsoil filter. 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE with 44,000+ miles. Several used oil analyses flagged high fuel dilution so I want the thicker Euro oil in there and also change it early every 5,000 miles.

Cons: high fuel dilution

Vehicle: Toyota

Mileage: 44000 km

Something is wrong with this model. I hate dealership workshops because you get gouged.

I work for a dealership and have seen many Chinese filters collapse just like that...I've seen other Chinese filters get so bad that it starved the engine of oil pressure which lead to vanos faults among other things....I'd always go for bmw oil filters, that's not something I'd be willing to "experiment" with

Pros: BMW filters are reliable

Cons: Chinese filters are unreliable
