Oil Filters

smoke-em · September 5th, 2007, 06:45 PM

I was wondering what you guys prefer or know which one is best. I just changed my oil with RP and used a fram filter. My friend said K&N makes em but i didnt see any at pep boys.

ma67cpe · September 5th, 2007, 06:50 PM

For K&N filters i would just go online because they are very expensive and i know stores here in dallas do not keep them. I dont know if it would benifit you a ton though.

k&n does make oil filters, but i always use Fram, on every car i've had.

Blk01ponyGT · September 5th, 2007, 07:06 PM

i always use fram...no need to spend extra money..ive seen fram used on everything from daily drivers to 1500whp drag cars

Fram for me. advance auto carries K&N in stock, but they are twice the price of every other filter out there.

I heard fram is not good, I used mobil 1 filters

bossman2kgt · September 5th, 2007, 07:48 PM

Motorcraft.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 08:18 PM

I've heard from several people not to use Fram. Go with Motorcraft.

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 08:32 PM

I generally use WIX, if I don't use that it's Fram

Nobody is saying Fram will shut down your car so you wouldn't notice a problem. I use K&N oil filters. They're not expensive to me. I get the at Advanced Auto Parts a few blocks from my house. I was told either K&N or Mobil One were the two best because of the material the filter was made out of.

Garhfer · September 6th, 2007, 02:47 AM

I use mobil 1, dunno anything about k&n oil filters though...

me either. i have used fram in all my car for god knows how long and never had a problem.

04GTAMPA · September 6th, 2007, 09:25 AM

good old motorcraft here.... I don't let it go too long anyway so it wouldn't really matter. I do my oil change at 1500-2000 miles....

isn't that a waste? with today's oils you can safely go much longer than that, unless you beat the crap out of your car on a daily basis

you're supposed to change the oil filter too?
