The $120 JiffyLube price is what got me doing my own changes….very therapeutic!
I enjoy it. Best GF-6A synthetic is 28$, best filter WIX is 10$, crush washer 25cents.
Disposal responsibly.
BTW the oil change places, use the worst filter and don’t change the crush washer…
CRV 250K miles. Burns no oil. Think it’s working ?
I use WIX 51036XP with synthetic oil on my 97 Tahoe since I own the truck (60.000 miles) and oil pressure is great.
I’ve always used fram. They get the job done, and never had issues.
I prefer synthetic. Wix filter
I do it myself in the driveway for half of what the dealership quoted. Takes about 30 minutes, it's really easy on my powerstroke as the drain plug and filter are right next to each other.
Changing the oil today, I found that the Fram PH6017A seems to be an almost exact match to the one that came on the Sambar during import. The threads were a few mm difference on the new one.
Just stay far far away from FRAM oil filters. I've had nothing but bad luck from those things.
Anything but Fram will be fine.
Fram are garbage
I put a Fram in my volvo once... I immediately got valve train noise, it sounded like a diesel. I put a mobil1 back in it and boom it went away. Something about the valve in there volvos really don't like.
I always used Fram. Once my jeep lost oil pressure, I had to heel/toe to keep the rpm’s up (I happened to be close to my jeep shop) thinking I needed an oil pump. My mechanic asked me what kind of filter. He recommended putting a Mopar , K&N or WIX before doing the work. He told me to never use Fram again, they have (or had, this was 3 years ago) an issue with a back flow “flap” collapsing and restricting flow. I swapped filters, that fixed the problem and I will never use Fram again, even some new premium filter.
