In general when I owned a Japanese car ( was then a new 2014 Subaru WRX) I always felt better using the OEM brand as at first the OEM filters were made in Japan but that same year Subaru for the US market contracted with FRAM to make the OEM filters ( FOR THE USA MARKET ONLY) The japan filters...

Way back in 1988 my then girl friend purchased a new 1988 Suzuki Samurai and I decided to do a early break-in oil change, I had a brand new never used yellow drain pan and her drained used oil was still clear with only a 100 or so miles. Don't know if it was a mix of a yellow pan ( everyone...
