Oil filter AMSOIL or Wix
Wix 57002 is my go to. I order in bulk from rock auto along with oil and air filter filters for all of my cars to save on shipping. Done two used oil analysis using the oil life monitor so these were about 7500 mile runs and the numbers looks great. The insoluble, which is what oil filters are supposed to filter out were very very low 1-2ppm. I’m happy.
I use WIX filters that are the XP version in my wife's 2013 Sonata, and change around 3-4K miles. Like younsaid donuse cheap filters, some are made poorly.
WIX oil filter... Best on the market without spending too much for a fancy name brand that isn't any better.
I have a F-150 with the 5.0 and I use Wix XP for filter and Mobil 1 high performance 5w20. Purrs like a kitten even at 178k.
I use a Wix filter 57002.
I was skeptical, but I started using it and their best filter in my '98 Durango 5.9 (gas). I ran it for the full 25 K(+) and sent an oil sample out to a 3rd party "Analysts, Inc." for a full analysis - including spectrographic. Basically, their recommendation was that the oil showed minimal contamination, acceptable viscosity, and was still OK for continued use and to re-sample at next interval.
I don't recommend Fram filters. I like Wix filters for budget and Quality.
For example, a Wix XP filters out 99% of material, at 35 microns, however the standard Wix filter can filter out 95% of material at 23 microns. That means the "cheap" Wix filter captures materials that are approximately 35% smaller than the "expensive" filter.
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
Had a WIX 57312 instead of a Motorcraft EC-781. So yeah, it fit but it was allowing oil to bypass the filter completely.
