I had the same code popping up onky after redlining. I had 2 months prior, replaced the oil filter housing on my atlas 21' 2.0t and vw passat 15' 1.8t with the metal one... off brand from amazon but works well on the atlas, so no issues, EPC would be nonstop until i turned off the car and back on. Switched the housing back to stock with a new filter and BOOM. Problem literally solved.
I'm at 115k on my 18' Pilot exclusively using Mobile1 0W-20 synthetic (green gas milage label), changing myself every 8,500miles. I replace with the M1 advanced 110A oil filter and change the engine air filter + cabin filter as well, since new. Discard oil is dark, with a smell thats mild but says, "it's time".
I do use Mobil1, PenzPlatinum, or Valvoline and replace the filter with each change.
Plus a Mobil1 20K filter.
Usually AutoZone near me runs a deal: but 5 quarts of Mobile 1, get a discount on the Mobile 1 filter...
It's worked for over a decade.
I've had my truck nearly 30 years now and DIY'd DOZENS of oil changes. I've not once used an OEM filter. I use whatever's on sale, preferably K&N or Mobil 1, but often Fram or Purolator or whatever was on sale.
I can count on zero hands the number of times the brand of filter has affected my Taco.
if your car is stock, you don't have to worry too much about the oil and filter. i think last time i went with a mobile 1 filter and their extended performance oil but I have used other brands too. any OEM filter will be fine.
I prefer mobil 1 or wix filters, mobil 1 or castrol oil usually
My buddy changed oil, and used a Mobil1 filter in his moms Hyundai. It knocked right away. Changed to Hyundai filter and knock quit.
Dont buy a Stp, had my oil changed on my 09 Legacy, a few days later I notice a drip and the usual burning smell while driving . Took It back to mechanic and they said there was a dot on filter so they swapped It out. Burning smell still there but leak was not seen, so I bought a Purolator and changed It myself now no problems.
