I have been changing it every 2800 to 3000 miles with Mobile Clean 5000 (10W30) and Fram filter.
the grey Fram Tough Guard is an AWESOME product. It takes the really silly Fram XG to beat it.
I ran K&N oil cone filter on a LT1 motor for 3 years in FL and now for 5 years on my 1.8t. Never any problems whatsoever.
Mobil 1 or Catrol pure synthetic, whichever is cheaper, and a fram filter. have used that combo for 20k miles on the rsx type s, used to use quaker state on the old B18B integra, fram filters, got that thing from 25k miles to 150k miles on that combo.
K&N oil filter / high mileage mobil 1 10/40 fully synthetic oil on my 1.8 16v.
With synthetic oil do you need a fancy filter? Since I change them very religiously, I wouldn't think it would matter. I use the FRAM filter (standard size).
I used 4 or 5 for the first few changes on my honda Civic SI with a turbo, and half caused oil lights and pressure spikes or drops... switched to MOBILE1 or K&N and no problems.
I went to Pep Boys Auto Toys and bought a Fram PH2870A. The day after my girl called me and said that her oil light kept going off, the pressure differential across the Fram was so big that it tripped the oil pressure switches. I replaced it with a MANN and tested the pressure and it was right where it was supposed to be.
I used royal purple 5w-30, and a ****ty fram oil filter since I couldnt get a hold of any others. Anyway, Ive been driving my car everyday and its been running pretty much like it did before the oil change. All of the sudden yesterday when I started it, it sounded a little odd to me. I let it warm up and went on my way. Well as soon as I got on the road i noticed it, the turbo wasnt spooling until about 3200rpm (max boost). It used to hit max at about 2600
Overpriced garbage. There is no proof that these synthetic type filters do any better job filtering than a high quality OEM or equivalent. I use OEM, for $13, at 10K miles pretty inexpensive and oil analysis is always good. OEM is best IMO.
