Oil filter OEM BMW or Wix
For example, a Wix XP filters out 99% of material, at 35 microns, however the standard Wix filter can filter out 95% of material at 23 microns. That means the "cheap" Wix filter captures materials that are approximately 35% smaller than the "expensive" filter.
Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.
Use Wix xp filters, they are metal with a rubber gasket that doesn't come off
Wix all the way…has superior filtration vs all others, as tested by Project Farm on youtube
I use Mobil 1 with either a Wix or Mobil 1 filter.
At the recommendation of several others, I put a Wix in mine when I bought my Fit last year.
Euro 0-20, BMW oil filter from Amz, $11.00 (buy filter and give to the oil change shop), always make sure oil change shop gets oil filter cover and oil pan screw torqued at 25 lbs (18 nm).
Both Wix and Purolator are made by the same company, Mann & Hummel so the top of the line filters (Purolator Boss & Wix XP) are about identical. IDK about the 20k mile one, haven't touched it yet but it should be on par or better than the Boss.
You can't go wrong with either as they are some of my favorite filters on the market due to how clean the internal construction & how solid the material quality is. The highest end Frams are fine to run but still not as good as Wix or Purolator, and nothing below Frams highest line is worth running imo.
Delco and fram filters are no different. Wix is 100% way better and a lot less when you have a commercial account
I really don’t wanna be that guy but just throw the wix out others might sell but wix is actually like the worst from experience at least from around here
