I buy Bosch filters through Rock Auto and oil during the Fleet Farm Black Friday rebate sale so my oil changes cost less than $10.
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.
Since I was ordering oil from Amsoil I went that route and the filter was amazingly robust.
The Euro oil (which I seriously doubt Valvoline used) is about $30 for a 5q jug + $10 for an extra quart, and a Bosch filter about $15.
I use Jiffy Lube to change my oil but I bring my own oil and filter (Amsoil).
I tried to buy a filter, a bosch is a decent choice, but I wasn't able to find it, or I should import it for 100 sar ( which is expensive, most filter sold for 20 to 50 sar where I live - saudi arabia -)
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.
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.
The current Bosch 3323 oil filters are now made in Mexico and filter quality has decreased. I don't use the current Mexico made Bosch - I cut one open and it was a bit different than US made older ones.
Bosch Filter verbaut, hat sich unten die Dichtung am Filter abgelöst und den Ölkanal im Filtergehäuse zu gemacht ???????? kommt also nicht nur bei „billigfiltern“ vor sondern auch bei den nahmhaften Herstellern…
