odometer went another 3500 miles, time for an oil change. bought a mobil1 filter today. are these good has anyone tried these? i was gonna run it with royal purple, pep boys didnt have enough 10w-30 quarts........

 

i think your spose to run 5w-30 or some people on here like 0w-30 i personally use 5w-30 royal purple with a napa premuim filter but i think im going to start using bosch or mann filter since there are alittle larger

 

Use a large Mann W94025 oil filter. You can get them for $5.06 from;

dont use 10W/30 its too thick/heavy 5W/30 - 0W/30 - 0W/40 minimum

 

That is the "big" filter right? I have been using that one...for my last two changes.

 

That, Mann W94025, is the big filter.

 

I use Amsoil 5w/40 and that seems to be working well

 

y not sue 10w/30?

i was worrired but i learned that the 10w is only the difference form when it os cold and warm. when the engine is at operating temperature, it doesnt make a difference

 

I've been using the mobil1 filter for the past 4 or so oil changes. Its a microfilter unlike the convential paper ones so it works pretty good. The price isn't bad either.

 

haha so yes or no to 10w30? i live in sd its pretty hot. got me a v6...
