Oil filter Mobil or STP
I’ve got a 2013 3.5 eb and I change my oil every 4k miles. I do my own changes and use Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 with a Mobil 1 oil filter.
AcDelco filters and Mobil 1 filters are always good options to pick from. Don't get the 4 dollar Fram, please.
Mobil 1 filters are fine. I use them all the time in my E92 and I'm at 250k miles with ZERO engine issues. My car is used for commuting and has no modifications to it.
I chose to use Mobil1 0w16 oil and a Mobil1 oil filter ...made in Vietnam.
Im using mobil 1 extended performance with the factory oil filter...so far so good.
I use 5w30 mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter thats guaranteed to 20k miles, and I change it at around 10k. No noises, runs great. Done 34k miles in 7 months.
Do you drive this to the strip club?
The best oil filter is mobil 1 but there was a batch years back and could tell simply by shaking filter and would rattle.
I got denied an engine replacement from Hyundai/Kia in 2017 because of a Mobil1 oil filter in Canada and lost my appeal as well.
Got a 2015 scion XB, I changed the oil every 3000 to 3500 miles and I use a mobil1 M1-103A oil filter, I always put it on as tight as i can with a bare hand, every 3000 miles the oil filter loosens up.
