Wix is about the same price (around $10) but the filter element is not as big and they are using paper filter. The Purolater is also paper filter but they pack a lot more pleats into it and the filtration is so tight that there is concern about pressure build up when using synthetic; however, it is cheaper and I found them for $6. Watch some of those videos on YouTube. They are so cool. Some guys have bought a bunch of different oil filters and cut them open to show you what's in it. If you watch you will probably never buy a FRAM again. FRAM filters are very flimsy oil filters with cardboard ends.Npath wrote:I've heard Wix, Nissan and Purolator are the best oil filters. I'd consider Wix as I've heard it also from others on the internet and @ work.hfrez wrote:Well, I have decided to go with a K&N oil Filter (I found them for less than $10 on Amazon.com which is what you would pay for a Mobil 1 filter) and I will use Pennzoil Platnum Full Synthetic 5W-30 which is cheaper then Mobil 1 but seems to match its quality. I will start with intervals of 5000 miles for my oil changes and see what happens in the future. I usually wait for sales then buy a larger quantity of what I think I will need. If I'm too lazy or don't have the time WalMart will change your oil for $15 if you bring the oil and filter with you. That is reasonable $15 for the work, $25 for the oil and $10 for the filter that is $50 and my PF is well taken care of.
