My Fat Dog Garage recommends WIX/NAPA oil filters. If your car has a flat-tappet engine use Valvoline VR-1 and change it and the filter every 3,000 miles or 1 year. For late model engines use Mobil 1 in the weight recommended by your manufacturer and change it and the filter every 7,500 miles. Report Abuse

I use bosch and K%26amp;N, the fram have cardboard endcaps on the filter. Last time I checked Cardboard isnt good for your engine. Report Abuse

fram filters suck, the best on ANY vehicle are motorcraft or K%26amp;N Report Abuse

if you have a honda you can go to kingmotorsports.com also known *** mugen and get the same filter your honda came with fron the factory or any other jap filters and goodys or just go with a fram
For Acuras, I recommend DENSO, Purolator PureONE, Acura/Honda, and Wix/NAPA oil filters.
K%26amp;N usually make the best filters.
The best oil is AMSOIL. www.amsoil.com


The best filter is the by pass filter sold by amsoil.

The amsoil by-pass filter is used along with the oil filter your car already uses. The Amsoil web site also sells Wix filters to replace the standard oil filter. The web site specifies an oil change interval of 60,000 miles per oil change when using amsoil and the by-pass filter.





The next best thing would be using Mobil1 synthetic oil with a Mobile 1 filter. I use Mobile1 synthetic and I change my oil every 3,000 miles. Thats how long it takes for my oil to look dirty.


I spend about 700 dollars on oil changes every 60,000 miles using this method (91 Accord). It would probably be cheaper and better for me to use AMSoil and the by-pass filter.
best is a k%26amp;n


2nd best is a fram





They are not all the same. K%26amp;N will increase oil pressure.
I prefer brand name like Fram, etc., and will use a little longer filter if room permits. It just gives you more filtering over the 3000-5000 mile interval.


On my V-8's I always use the longer version of the same size filter. The factory always recommends the shorter one.


You may need to add a little more oil in the beginning to get it up to the full mark after running a bit then rechecking the level.


Oil never really wears out, it just gets so dirty from all the contaminants that manage to get into your crankcase, from dirt to metals, etc.
Oil filters are all the same. But some people won't touch anything but Mobil 1 and k%26amp;n but they usually cost about 1.5-2x the regular filters.
Fram or Motorcraft.
They are basically the same but the best ones are FRAM tough gard and Bosch
Not all are the same.The best filter to use is the one that came on the car from the factory.They know there filter works best on that engine that year.PERIOD
