There are multiple high quality oil filters such as Napa gold, wix xp, bosch, & others but each 1 can fit different needs. What is best for you and why? This could help others people in the NIA community who are just starting to research.

It's always amazed me that people don't have an issue paying $20K to $60K for their brand new shiny ride..but they want to pay the least amount possible for their oil changes... cheap oil, cheapest filter.....at the oil change quickie mart.....

Just buy a wix filter, change oil at 3000 miles and sleep well.

Usually I like short videos that get to the point. But this was just meaningless chatter.

Why does everyone just cut open the filters and look at them rather than actually test them to know how well they filter? How it looks doesn't necessarily have any bearing on it's filtering effectiveness, which is what really matters.

MOTORCRAFT for me, no matter what the Make of my car is

Purolator Boss. Just buy it.

I've been watching a lot of the oil filter videos. Damn the FRAM does look to be built like crap but maybe it's good enough? All I have ever used is the cheap FRAM since I was a teenager (almost 40 now) I never had any engine problems. My Hondas and mitsu lasted well past 200k miles and were still going strong. Met their demise with other issues. I think if you do frequent oil changes, their fine. I think people look into this stuff to deep as if they had some kind of over engineered masterpiece under their hood.

Soooo, what's the best filter?

Where's the Purolator filters? Purolator invented the oil filter!

I appreciate all your work checking out oil filters by cutting them open and explaining the pro and con of nitrile rubber versus silicone and cellulose media versus synthetic media. However, it really comes down to effective filtration (ISO 4548-12 - Filtration Efficiency Using Particle Counting, and Contaminant Retention Capacity) and flow especially if you are going 7,5000 / 10,000 / 15,000-mile oil change interval. Most but not all oil filter manufacturers include a micron rating concerning filter performance / efficiency

Liked the fact that the video was short and you gave your observed opinion on best and worst

I have a 99 Avalon that has 340,000 miles. Oil is changed every 3 to 4K miles. Used mostly Fram Tough Gard and Toyota brand filters. Say what you will. It runs incredibly well and open highway at 70 to 75 mph averages 26 to 27.5 mpg. Used penzoil 5W-30 or 10W-30. I know what has worked since 03 when my Dad bought it and he gave it to me in 2014. Let the arguments begin. Lol

From my experience I only choose either purolator 1 & Bosch Premium.

How about stp 0w20 gf6a oil and stp extended life filters what do you think?

Thanks! I love that you're using brand new filters, there's a lot of other videos with used filters, like c'mon that don't help.

Please recommend me what Oil filter should i use in my elantra. I'm facing issue ! when car engine is hot and stopped somewhere in parking. and start engine again i hear tick ticket noise for 5-8 seconds and goes away. I wanna get rid of this problem. Please help me.

Purolator and Wix filters are good aftermarket filters for standard oil change intervals. OEM brands make good filters too such as Honda and Nissan. Honestly I’m not too interested in what the filters look like before they are used. What I always use as a gauge is running whatever mileage interval I plan to use, and then inspecting the filter after the fact as well as sending the oil samples off to Blackstone and getting a report back on the particulate that is in the actual oil sample.

Thank you, i have just used this video to prove to someone Fram are not what he thinks they are, hopefully he will change to wix like i have on all my trucks and land rovers

Any plans to check out hegst or Mann filter?
