Air filter Wix or UGREEN
2016 ST1, 205k miles, green filter and hood struts. That\u2019s it. Keep your oil changed, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with a little \u201cspirited\u201d driving here and there, that\u2019s what the car was built to do. They handle soo nice.
Pros: handles soo nice
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Mileage: 205000 km
The only mods I ever did was a green air filter, symposer delete, and put in yellow led fog lights. It has only needed a few small things fixed, other than normal maintained stuff like fluid changes, brakes, tires, whatever.
Pros: economic stand point
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Delete the sound symposer and get an aftermarket air filter. I\u2019m partial to the Green filter. Have had it for 100k and clean it every third oil change.
Pros: easy to clean
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Mileage: 100000 km
Wix air, oil, and cabin air filters are my go to. I get them in bulk from rock auto. I usually fill with mid grade gas, buying premium is usually more than a dollar over regular per gallon and it does not make up for it in better mileage. The new gen 4 coyote is not e85, they have no yellow indicator and do not have the ability to account for it. The gen 3 coyotes, between 2018? Or 2020 to 2023 had some oil burning issues due to the cylinder walls and mismatched pistons. It happened when they changed factories from Germany to the US. The transmissions prior to the 2023 update have a high rate of failure. Post 2023 they fixed them. My recommendations for trucks is to go with a 2024 or later model of whatever sort you're looking for, they have the gen 4 coyote, the fixed 10r80, and a refreshed design for the bumpers, headlights, and all the computers.
Pros: good quality filters, reliable transmissions post-2023
Cons: oil burning issues gen 3, premium gas not worth it
Go with Wix if you care about air filtration. I haven't heard of any brand that beats Wix in that regard, for both intake or cabin filters.
Pros: superior air filtration
Royal Purple HMX 5w 20 10-48 RP oil filter and a Wix air filter.
Wix air filters cost me about $40 total and took five minutes to do both.
Pros: easy to install
Vehicle:
Mazda
I was able to feel a difference right after replacing the air filter with WIX's. I can feel less stress on accelerating, even if there will be no actual hp/performance benefit.
Pros: less stress accelerating
Vehicle:
Kia
Part number: WA10271
I had on in my BRM, it was there when I got it. I didn\u2019t have any issues or dirty getting by. I just had to clean it more often because of the EGR valve.
Pros: no issues, no dirty getting by
Cons: clean it more often
Just received the wix from them the other day myself.
Was disappointed how crushed and uneven the pleats were. Shipping damage? Maybe. The box was in good shape.
I think I installed a "purlator one" last time but it was $16 off Amazon. I feel the build quality was better and honestly I should have looked before ordering. It was installed in 2023 but looked almost new coming out. This is my wife's car and it only gets maybe 5000 miles a year or less on it at the moment.
Next time I'll try denso after the feedback I keep seeing on Reddit and elsewhere for Honda parts.
Cons: crushed pleats, poor quality
