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 use Jiffy Lube to change my oil but I bring my own oil and filter (Amsoil).
Pros: bring own oil, filter
I used 30W Ford Super Premium Motor Oil and a Ford FL-1A filter, and I changed the oil and filter, and greased every component myself, including the U-joints every 3,000 miles where necessary. I asked my Uncle who manufactured this oil, and he didn\u2019t know, UNTIL one day, he received a case of oil Labeled as Exon Uniflo, one of the highest rated brands at the time. It was obvious, at least to me, that Ford Super Premium engine oil and Exon Uniflo were one and the same. I sold the car 5 years later with almost 98,000 miles on it, and absolutely no engine problems.
Pros: no engine problems
Vehicle:
Ford Galaxy
Mileage: 98000 km
Part number: FL-1A
Last year i bought a car (Ford Focus) that had been garaged for 4 years.
Changed oil and filter as a precaution.
Pros: changed oil and filter
Vehicle:

In my Hybrid, I use the OLM for recommended changes, except for the initial break-in oil/filter change. I did that one at 4k, which was about 2k of gasoline engine miles. OEM filter was tiny and I wanted to get it replaced.
Pros: OEM filter replaced
Cons: OEM filter tiny
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 4000 km
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 use Amsoil EA15K13-EA.
Part number: EA15K13-EA
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
99-03 Ranger with a 3.0, filter above the start and the number of guys I seen set one on fire by arcing the starter with filter pliers is more than 6…
