I used to strictly go OEM with the blue filters, but switched to WIX after watching this:No issues to report.. little more peace of mind
I’ve also used Mobil oil filters because they’re easily accessible and manufactured by Mann.
I always recommend using a synthetic oil and a Mobil1 Extended Performance filter every 5k miles.
I run this same oil and Mobil 1 filter in my 2009 Yukon XL with a 6.2 L V8 with 148k miles. I usually change my oil every 3k - 5k miles despite what the marketing says.
I use Wix oil filters because they're cheaper than the Kawi ones, and I've used the wix brand for the better part of a decade and had no issues with it on any of my vehicles.
Make sure you pair the oil with a high-quality filter. I prefer Wix.
NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.
Thanks for the quick reply I'm run ing 5w40 mobil 1 European spec oil ans mobil one extended performance filter I change it every 5k
Mobil 1 Extended Performance M1C-451 Plastic end caps (blue). Maybe viton seals on the filter? Says product of USA Rated up to 15,000 miles... which sounds worse than the stock filter (30,000 km...)
the bypass valve on the Mobil filter is too low for our engines ~ 15 psi. Mahle/Mann is at ~27 psi. In certain situations, even normal situations, the mobil filter isn't filtering at all
