I actually use a Carquest blue-line filter which is literally a rebadged WIX. Even the part numbers match.
Went ahead and swapped out the factory fill oil after a few hundred miles. I heard they use a synthetic blend so it had to go. Went with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 and a Wix HD filter. Oil changes are so easy on these.
Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).
What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
In that short time that engine oil made idle smoother, so highly recommend.
I run wix xp on mine. No problems.
I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.
I’ve been using 5w30 Castrol full advanced synthetic, with a wix oil filter for all seasons and have had 0 issues.
and get a Wix filter or some mid level filter. dont buy the cheapest one out there. 9-15 dollars is about how much you want to spend on a filter. But it works great.
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.
