What kind of Oil and oil filter does everyone use??

[Speed_Dreams]

Just wondering what everyone uses. Im going to Use Mobil 1 synthetic when i get my Teg im just wondering does it matter what filter i use? and what does everyone else use?

[sexualbanana]

mobil1, and honda filter or fram

Mobil 1 - 5W 30 Synthetic. Oil filter doesn't really matter, because you'll be changing the oil every 5000km anyways. And no one give me any bullshit about 20 000km oil drain intervals.

whatever 10w30 oil - fram double guard. I have a semi-big oil leak, so i dont use synthetic, maybe (actually probably) i will after the rebuild.

Penzoil 5w20 and K&N filter

5w30 mobil syn. and nissan filter

Never use Fram. Did you guys not see the filter study? Those things are the biggest piles of shit on the planet. They also make the filters for QuakerState and Penzoil.....stay away.

Best oil that i have used:
Amsoil
Red Line
Mobil 1
Havoline

Best filters:
Hard Driver
Purolater
Wix
Dana
Factory

Castrol 0W30 for winter.

Castrol 5W50 for summer.

OEM oil filter. I wouldn't run the same filter for 2 years or 30,000 km as shown. I'll change it every 6 months / 8,000 km. In the photo, the filter is sitting on a CD for size reference.

Motul 300V 5W-40 with O.E mfg German filters. Change every ~6000km. Probably overkill, but I'd like it to last forever

If you do oil and filter changes at the proper interval (5000km or 3 months, whichever is first), then the Fram filter is perfectly fine. I personally use OEM filters, but I've used Fram, as well as K&N, and I see no difference what-so-ever.

On the mustang, K&N oil filter and Redline 10w30 synthetic

Castrol GTX 5w30, OEM filter.

Probably switch to synthetic once i'm finished all my castrol.

mobil 1 5w30, OEM filter...

Anyone need a fram filter for the qr25 engine?

[three.eighteen.]

what other kinds of cars use filters like mine (no casing just the filter and an o-ring)

[eludeu]

Is it bad for an engine that has been run with non synthetic oil to change to a synthetic oil?

Cut a Fram filter in half and have a look at the construction, I cut one open and found a 1/4 gap at the bottom of the filter pleat..
Translation: The filter was purely ornamental and was doing didly squat..
Rotaries are notoriously hard on motor oils, I have found that the Wix which are also sold as the Napa house brand here are the best along with Kralinator... The oil stays cleaner for alot longer with those filters..
Wix sells a off-road Truck use heavy duty filter, oddly enough they have a crossreference in there for the Mazda 13b rotary, its got way more diameter than any other filter that fits that engine, its about a an 1.5" wider than the factory filter and typical Fram style filters, and it has a machined sprung relief valve, not a cardboard flapper....Maxt

Fram filters are crap, also the Canadian OEM Honda filters are made by Fram which is also crap.
