Yes run OEM filter, one of the best, if not the best filter for the evo.

You can change to a different brand sythetic oil every oil change if you want, nothing will happen to your engine.

Ive ran Amsoil, royal purple and redline in my G35 coupe, and ran the car hard. I could not tell the smallest diff. between them, so i settled on the cheapest and reputable Mobil 1. Yes its a NA V6, and an evo is a boosted I4, so maybe you will feel something, let us know. Im very curious. take care.

thats because its not a true full synthetic. it can be called a sntheic because it has some of the same properties but its been tested many times. there is actually a book about it but i cant find it right now. it describes in detail what makes a true synthetic a synthetic. royal purple, amsoil and like redline are the only oils that i know that are true synthetics.

i use nothing but royal purple 10w30 with a oe filter. or filter is improtant.

I've used royal purple in all my FI cars and I would say for the money and perfomance Redline Motor oil is the best. If you are running stock Mobil1 Syn. Extended Performance is really good. At my local shop if you buy a box its $2 off each bottle. $9.99 for 1 bottle = $7.99, Royal Purple I think is $10.99 and Mobil1 Syn EP: $6.99 or $7.25

Pay attention to the oil's specs:
I would not put an oil that does not meet these specs:
API SL or SM
ACEA A3/B3/B4

M1 10W30 does not meet ACEA high performance specification!

M1 0W40 not only meets ACEA, but meets 99% of the auto insustries requirements

I don't see anything wrong with M1. But I will be switching to Redline when I reached 3k miles on my IX. I've always used Redline on all of my cars. Royal Purple and AMSOIL are very good oil also.

I love these statements that have no backing. Last research reported both had the same amount of hydrocarbons and M1 is still cheaper. Countless Car manufacturers only recommend Mobil 1 (BMW's M Division, Mercedes' AMG division.)

"I love these statements that have no backing" i dont see your backing either...
i don't want to go again over this one. lets say, i used both...
also i used redline too.
"manufacturers only recommend Mobil 1 "
manufacturers recommend them, because they have contract with them....

plane and simple.
