Oil filter Wix or OEM Honda

Wix Oil filter

I’ve long done 7500 oil change intervals for my naturally aspirated cars, and I’m sticking to 5000 in my turbocharged Subaru now, always with synthetic (Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, and a Wix XP oil filter).

Pros: synthetic oil, regular maintenance
Vehicle: Subaru

OEM Honda Oil filter

You should definitely change the oil. I always recommend doing an oil change when you buy a car. When I bought my 22 civic and took it to service (because it was still in warranty) the mechanic told me it was a great thing i brought it in because the filter was so loose that he basically did 2 turns before oil started coming out. You never want to risk anything.

Pros: mechanic found loose filter
Cons: risk of engine damage
Vehicle: Honda Civic

Wix xp after watching project farms videos on filters. Historically have used all sorts of filters and never had an engine failure. Use full synthetic and change every 5k miles for twenty five years without any problems.

Pros: no engine failure
Mileage: 8000 km

I saw 10 psi more oil pressure across the board from switching to a WIX XP filter. Did this now on all my cars and have the same results. Pretty phenomenal. I used to idle at 20psi like you and now I idle at 30.

Pros: 10 psi more

I think WIX changed their manufacturing process because the one I bought appears to be plastic tack'd to the main housing now, and the ring breaks off when taking the old filter off.

Cons: ring breaks off

OEM Honda Oil filter

i’d like to introduce you to the honda k series. filter on back of engine, hard to reach from top, hard to reach from bottom, easiest but still hard from wheel well. oh and if it’s a honda element or CRV, it pisses oil all down your subframe and axle shaft.

Pros: easiest from wheel well
Cons: pisses oil everywhere
