Oil is covered, NOW what is the best oil filter?

It's made by champion labs. See Mobil 1 and K&N.

I know it's made champion labs... I saw a great YouTube video of a breakdown of the filter and compared to other champion lab filter (unused) ten I watched a YouTube video often breakdown of a use royal purple filter and the person in the video reported that after 10k the filter felt as if it was made of cardboard and looked like it didn't filter very well... I'm just wondering if anyone personally use a royal purple synthetic filter???

The PureOne still smacks the planet. Racing filters are a different story because they need high flow rates.

To be honest, I can't see why we haven't done a remote oil filter kit with the biggest PureOne available. *shrugs*

I just chopped open a Bosch filter (Bosch 3330 Premium FILTECH Oil Filter).

It IS a purolator pureONE filter. The only difference is the gasket is a black rubber and the pure one has the orange treated one. I am kinda relived because I have a dozen of them here and started to think I has some crappy filters because of the assholes above who made shit up about it being from an inferior manufacturer.



Also, you can get these for $5.50 on Amazon and they are eligible for Prime free shipping. Make sure you get the FILTECH one, I have no idea what is inside of the other one.

I put it between the Purolator Premium plus and the PureOne.

Yes. Correct.

Purolator is a Bosch product and has been since 2006.

Please do correct me if I am wrong.

You even quoted one of my posts saying correct.

The last two posts you quoted, we were talking about the Royal Purple oil filter, not the Bosch.

I think you got mixed up.

Fixed.

I am running K&N about 3 times the size of the mazda spin on. It rubs a lil with the tub though. This is the only pic I could find.

Dude idk what you are talking about but royal purple is manufactured by champion labs... Before you start spewing shit maybe you need to learn how to read...

You fuckers are all wrong. Everything is made by a 12 year old boy in a dirt-floor factory in China. The only difference is the Wal Mart house brand "Great Value" is just a can of Fanta with the lid cut off, and stuffed with straw.

The Wix website clearly states that they use silicon in their filters, though that hasn't deterred me from using them. Wix filter at Napa is $6 and change.

That statement was more toward the companies that make multiple grades of filters for the same application (Gold, Silver, Platinum, premium, premium plus etc.).

I prefer/recommend the silicon valve over the rubber. Wix, no doubt, makes a good filter.

I have seen a few kits have problems sealing, creating leaks and another point of failure. I do like the spin ons for the same reason as Tomas, and have to agree wit him, if you keep up on your oil changes and don't leave the filter in there long enought to get clogged with crap you should be fine. There still (as far as I have seen) have not been any real improvments on the cartridge style filters.

If you live in a really dusty area, or stretch out the changes a little bit longer than you should it might be a good idea, due to the increaced capacity and better filtering of a spin on.

I use a spin on for simplicity and higher filter surface area but I don't think it's really needed if you are going to change filters every 3-4K miles.

b.s.
I've ran 6-7k without any issues using a Purolator PureOne.
