hey guys i gotta quick question for ya. im switching to rotella t6 this weekend ive heard nothing but awesome things about it from my builders. im jw whats the best filter to use? the oem? thanks for any input

 

OEM filter. Only and always.

 

Here we go again, for crying out loud !

Glad you want to spend twice the money for a zero difference filter from most any other AJ.

I have been using fram filters most of the time I have had cars and I have had ZERO failures because of them. No I'm not a youngster either. Lots of miles logged.

To the OP as long as it is an oem replacement you will be fine. If you want to waste your money go ahead and buy a filter from Mitsu.

 

Ok i just dont want nor need any failures im pushing 600 and only have used the oem but i do hear lotta different thoughts and just curious since now my weight is 40

 

waste money; what's a filter cost? i honestly don't even think about it, usually buy 5+ at a time. I'm guessing about $6-$8?

I "waste" wayy more than that on amsoil z-rod, changed after any trip to the track, and I have to fill an AMS oil pan's capacity. an oil filter seems like chump change in the grand scheme of maintaining an Evo...

 

Yes i can agree with that 10 bucks ia nothing. I would just like best i know most r pretty much the same anyway but im gonna prob get a k&n. Thats all i used on my built srt and they seem to hold up well

 

Any OEM replacement filter will work fine. I prefer to use a filter with metal end caps and synthetic filtering media.

Just do a google search on oil filter testing there are a few nice detailed ones floating around.

 

You cant go wrong with a Bosch filter too, thats what I use.
