Oil filter Wix or STP
Wix 57002 is my go to. I order in bulk from rock auto along with oil and air filter filters for all of my cars to save on shipping. Done two used oil analysis using the oil life monitor so these were about 7500 mile runs and the numbers looks great. The insoluble, which is what oil filters are supposed to filter out were very very low 1-2ppm. I’m happy.
I use WIX filters that are the XP version in my wife's 2013 Sonata, and change around 3-4K miles. Like younsaid donuse cheap filters, some are made poorly.
WIX oil filter... Best on the market without spending too much for a fancy name brand that isn't any better.
I have a F-150 with the 5.0 and I use Wix XP for filter and Mobil 1 high performance 5w20. Purrs like a kitten even at 178k.
I use a Wix filter 57002.
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 don't recommend Fram filters. I like Wix filters for budget and Quality.
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.
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
Wanna see what a Wix filter looks like after less than 10k and 1 year of driving. Notice how the paper media pulled away from the rubber support. Notice that the filter has been sucked in.
