Re: IML: oil filters



If you can still find it, the Knize oil filter study online was about as objective as Ive seen between brands. This guy took his own dime, his own time and bought all the different filters for the Mopar and Ford application as he could find. He cut them apart and measured them, did oil pressure tests, etc etc on them.

Filter companies complained, though as I type this I do not remember what specific legal complaint they had. The site has moved a few times, but it was an excellent study between the different brands.

Basically, a whole bunch of filters are made FOR the respective brand by other companies. The highest marks went to the Wix filters, the NAPA Gold filters ( not the silverline Napa ), the AC as I recall . Fram was basically about as good as a roll of Charmin and many of the oil branded filters such as Penzoil or Quaker were just repackaged junk.

Imho, a Wix or Napa Gold filter every time. Ill change the filter at the halfway point of the interval and add a quart of oil to make up the difference. What oil to use is an entirely other thread and is way to personal to even go into.
