Mobil 1 filters and Fram Ultra filters are good too. Just don't use the the cheap Fram extra guard filter. It's made of paper. The Ultra is higher quality
The OEM filter does a damn good job for what it is. If you're looking for an upgrade go with a wix or similar quality. Check the micron ratings when looking them up cuz brands like mobile 1 are not as good as they used to be.
Used fram for 2 years and not a single issue
Nice post, been using pennzoil platinum 5w30 for a while now and after seeing your results with valvoline I'm going to give that a try. Also gonna be switching to the wix filter instead of the usual subaru black filter to see how it goes.
Valvoline all round pretty much with the wix filter, i never plan ahead enough to order the oe filter
For the Oil Filter, I would recommend using either the Mazda filter or the Wix/Napa Gold aftermarket, as they are specifically built to meet the Skyactive engine's specifications.
Yesterday I put 10w-40 in it since it seemed like it could help at least a little. It does have a Fram filter on it now.
i have a fram oil filter and it just started doing this and its been about 1.5k miles since i last changed my oil
my car balloons WIX filters, and it only goes as high as 120psi..
fram or almost as junk as fram filter they have been known to cause all sorts of oil pressure issues.
