Best oil filter

[AcE XBOX]

What's the best oil filter? My friends say its fram and I said it was a POS and they laughed at me.

I had a site where all the oil filters where opened and inspectioned. Anyone have the link?

I use the K&N Oil Filter. I just hope its worth the 7 bucks.

Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator.
I ran the Purolator PureOne filters in my old car and nothing but the Motorcraft FL820s in my new ride.
Oh yeah, BTW, FRAM DOES SUCK!!
They use paper end caps on their filters that, if given enough time, can break apart and get in your motor.

This might be expensive, but I'm sure it's way better than all of the paper filters, plus you won't ever have to buy another filter!

It's the 8400 series

I'm going to get a quote for this just to see how much.

I have used some reusable type filters on my race cars, they were called Oberg filters and cost as much as $149.
$149/$2.97=51 Motorcraft FL820 filters.
51 Oil Changes at 5,000 miles per change=255,000 Miles
I don't think I am going to make it to 255,000 miles with my '04 GT

I always use a PureOne Oil filter and Mobile 1 tri-synthetic oil. When i did my headswap the inside of the engine still looked brand new after ~80,000 hard miles.

Looks like the Mobile 1 and K&N oil filters will be a good substitute if the store is out of the PureOne filter.

Oil Filter

Motorcraft or Purolator Pure One

if you're using synthetic and not going to change it as often, Mobil1, K&N, or Amsoil. If you're running regular oil then motorcraft is fine. The only thing I like about Fram is the grip stuff on the end.

I use K&N, worth the $ for my baby lasting longer IMO

True. IF you use motorcraft filters. Some of the ppl that use K&N filters at ten bucks a pop it would pay to get. 10/150=15. 15*5,000=75,000

Everyone has their own opinion on this topic. No matter what other people say, you're not going to change their minds

I either buy them at Wal-Mart for $2.97 or go to Advance Auto Parts and use their price match policy to get them for Wal-Mart's price.

I use Motorcraft in all my vehicles. Fram sucks big time. I had one in my 70 when I did the cam swap. The filter element seperated from the canister and wouldn't let enough oil into the motor. Ended up flattening the cam and wiping out all the bearings.
