vs
Oil filter AMSOIL or MOTUL
Well I see you went stp which is not as good as OEM. I run amsoil filters and have no issue, I prefer amsoil to OEM because amsoil have tested at a 99 percent particles are filtered out.
Pros: 99 percent particles filtered
Cons: not as good as OEM
Vehicle:
Toyota
Since I was ordering oil from Amsoil I went that route and the filter was amazingly robust.
Pros: amazingly robust
i DIY or pay a subaru specialty shop for a change, we both use motul, genuine filter, crush ring, just they do oil samples for me cause i dont feel like that hassle
Pros: genuine filter, oil samples
I use Jiffy Lube to change my oil but I bring my own oil and filter (Amsoil).
Pros: bring own oil, filter
With a good filter (Fram synthetic endurance, Purolator boss, Amsoil) and a modern high performance oil such as Amsoil signature and Pennzoil ultra platinum you are good for at least 17.5k with the Amsoil and 12.5k with the Pennzoil under 'severe' conditions.
Pros: good filter, high performance
Mileage: 17500 km
I personally use Motul 5w30 with oem oil filter.
I use Amsoil EA15K13-EA.
Part number: EA15K13-EA
Every 4500-5000 miles with Amsoil Signature and Amsoil filter. Do it yourself, it\u2019s not hard and you can be assured no corners were cut. Don\u2019t go beyond 5000 miles. The 3.5L is really hard on oil. It\u2019s cheap insurance.
Pros: cheap insurance
Mileage: 8047 km
I'm currently using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 and an Amsoil filter. 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE with 44,000+ miles. Several used oil analyses flagged high fuel dilution so I want the thicker Euro oil in there and also change it early every 5,000 miles.
Cons: high fuel dilution
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 44000 km
Just had an amsoil filter fail at the gasket. The inner diameter was too small causing a crease in the gasket that leaked after 4 months use. Nearly ran me dry.
Cons: gasket leak, filter failure
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
