While changing my oil today, i wondered what kind of oil & filters everyone else uses. Whenever i go to pick them up, i usually grab anything. mostly the first thing i see, but has anyone had a better experience over a certain brand?

Today i picked up a supertech filter and GTX oil.

Theres also something about the WIX filters that i like over others.

 

I use motocraft in the truck.

I wont touch a fram. They come apart internally to easily.

 

Amsoil synthetic oil and an Amsoil oil filter for the Truck. Mobil 1 synthetic oil and Mobil 1 oil filter for the Marquis. Motorcraft (Made by Purolator) oil filters are pretty damn good, those are the only 3 I would ever use.

 

i use all amsoil in my vehicles, even my 70 torino. obviously

 

I run Castrol GTX 5w-30 and Motorcraft FL-820S oil filters.

 

I use mobil 1 syn and K&N filters

 

i use amsoil oil with k&n filter

 

I wasnt aware K&N made oil filters. I've never seen them. Autozone? Advanced Auto Parts?

 

advanced

 

Advanced/Autozone both sell them.

FYI: They are the exact same oil filter as the Mobil 1 Oil filter (Inside)...they just add a nut to the case to make it easier to get off. I think they are about 2 bucks more then the M1 oil filter.

 

Mobil 1 synthetic, K&N gold filter

 

Penzoil natural, and Motorcraft filter

 

Would't let a Fram filter anywhere near my truck. Hell, calling it a filter is a stretch. When I worked at NAPA in high school, we made this little display on the counter that showed a NAPA Gold filter opened up next to a Fram filter opened. The Fram filter looked like a piece of a cardboard box wedged in a can. Piece of crap.

I usually use either the NAPA brand synthetic or the Valvoline synthetic at the instant oil change place.

 

I use a Motorcraft filter and Mobil 1 0W-20 Synthetic.

 

i use quaker state 5w-30 and motorcraft oil filter.

 

amsoil oil and filter... i use amsoil in the engine, tranny, rear diff... its the best stuff out there imho

 

i use mobil one 5w-30 synthetic(15,000 mile stuff) seems to work fine. MObil 1 filter.

im working on switching everything to amsoil, but im not sure if i want to run it in the eninge or not

 

It's good stuff it's just that it thickens up over time....I'll be sticking with Mobil 1 but Amsoil is good stuff.

 

We hade one come apart internally on a big block chevy in an offshore race boat. That was a $30k accident. :(

 

amsoil does thicken a bit over a long period of time, i cant deny that. i myself use the XL7500 oil that gets changed every 7500 miles, so i dont have that problem. its still better than mobil 1 though, even their new extended drain stuff. its still not 100% synthetic.

 

While it may not be a perfect test I again go back to http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/s.../oil-life.html
Where per oil analysis Mobil 1 outlasted Amsoil....

 

5w30 mobil1 syn, and a mobil1 filter :o)

 

Fram Filters and Quaker State 10W40

 

5w30 mobil1 syn oil, Motorcraft FL820s filter

 

I use AMSOIL XL7500 5W-30 with a AMSOIL Superduty Filter. I like to change out my oil so I cant wait for the year.

And here is another test comparing AMSOIL vs. Mobil 1 for your viewing pleasure.
