I use either Mobil 1 0w20, or Royal Purple 0w20. For the filter, I use Fram Titanium. I do all routine maintenance myself. I've got a 2015 SR DC with 388k miles, and have never had any issues. It still runs perfectly.
Mann filter snapped firmly into place and felt really solidly built. Will be using this one from now on.
Can’t tighten these caps by hand as they need to be torqued down to spec. Also use OE Mann filters and gaskets as they will not leak.
Use a Mann oil filter and torque it properly... they shouldn't leak
Quality air filter changed regularly. Quality oil filter Frams higher end stuff are surprisingly well made for the $.
I can recommend MANN filters. I've cut one open recently. They have a full metal construction, even the inner tube isn't plastic.
Never felt any substantial difference from the changing of the oil itself but did notice that using a regular Fram filter made for a shaky idle in the '89 Integra I had. Changing the filter back to an STP made the wonky idle go away.
I've only ever used Mann filters and I still consistently get the oil pressure light. I suspect the last time I got an oil change the shop used 5w30 instead of 5w40 because it's been worse than ever for the last 6 months.
I have never liked fram, they always cut corners in one way or another.
Never buy fram oil filters they’re all shit.
