mobil 1 filter, and syntec oil(green label) my SR had a mobil1 on it when i got it with nissan labels stuck to it. i figure if it's good enough for nissan it's probably good enough for me. for some killer info on oil and filters check out.http://www.bobistheoilguy.com

Fram's one of the best filters out there.

Here's a thread about Oil and Filters from our resident oil expert PalmerWMD.

And here's some specific feedback on Fram filters, again from our Oil Man.

I, too, use fram filters and have never had a problem

[Dattebayo]

I use the k&n oil filter cause its got the 1" wrench thing and the solid metal case. Mostly for looks though.

OEM filters. Used K&N didn't like how the oil got dirty faster. Fram, if you use the teflon coated stuff, I heard that the teflon come loose (although I've never used the stuff). I used the x2 filters. Those filtered really well, but are expensive. The standard orange fram stuff was good for a budget but for a little more I'd be willing to pay for oem as they've got more filter stuff in there.

I use the factory OEM filters. They range from $3up to $7 at the dealer. For some reason they go up and down in price around here.

I just use the generic orange Fram filter.

[Exar-Kun]

I like OE, MOBIL or the ones I ordered, Power enterprises, and K+N.

I used the K+N on my Z31 and Z32 cars, and loved them for their filtering and busrst capacity and ease of installation.

for my s13? PE all the way from now on with the new head.

otherwise its been OE.-chet

i use ford motorcraft filters

it was a toss-up between that and the wal-mart supertech filter. i prefer to use mobil 1 filters but they cost a lot.

[Axel Grungy]

ive always had good luck with mobil one

[D1SR240]

how much are the mobil 1 filters?

[nb240le]

I always use OE filters because the dealor does my changes. I work next door to the local dealorship and I know them real well. They only charge me 14 bux

Yeah I know its lazy, but for 14$, my time is worth more then that.

[S14Life]

I use a Defence filter.

[BadMojo]

OE oil filter here. Never had a problem with 'em.

[ArcherV20]

Eh - I've heard bad things from Fram. Maybe just some salesperson mish mash. But they always tell me its the paper **** inside blah blah, if I ever went fram I'd go with the double guard.

Personally I run a quaker state filter.

[Luke]

Wow.... You guys that are using Fram filters need to seriously read this:

http://www.scuderiaciriani.com...tudy/ (go down to where he examines the Fram filters)

He says that Quaker State filters are only Purolaters with the QS logo/color.

[thelinja]

I personally use PureONE filters. I used to use Fram, but then I found out they had s*** filtering surface area when compared to othe filters and they also used cardboard ends for the filter element where as most brands use aluminum.

FRAM SUCKS, i, as well as friends, have had problems with Fram filters...

OE > * Factory owns you!

Wix at the moment, but thats really just for break in where I didn't care as much about it...it'll need to be changed after the first startup, then at 500 miles again. After that I'll have to figure it out....anyone have any input on Wix filters?
