Because their syns can't really push past 7.5k OCI...at least from what UOAs are reporting.

Aftermarket filters are fine to use as long as it's a reputable brand, even FRAM OCOD. There are too many oil filters for Hyundai/Kia to test through so they just don't...and then slap on the disclaimer that "KIA does not test or approve..." The only issue I encountered with an aftermarket OF...

Hi All, I know oil preferences depend on driving habits, environment conditions, etc... but I just wanted to gather some user experiences (no need for UOAs) with their favorite oil for this engine. Feedbacks like engine smoothness, extended drain capabilities, quietness are all welcome. I'm...

Ah I see. Thanks for the info

I know many say to just leave it on, but what's the "risk" of removing the filter and dumping out the old oil for a second OCI?

Originally Posted By: Oldwolf Well I leave my Toyota filter on my 1NZ-XFE's for 10k miles now. If I was doing 5k miles oci's then I suppose I would just change the filter every other time. How many miles are you expecting to put on your filter? With 2 OCI's, probably around 10-12k. 5/6k OCI's...

If you fill with premium, you can feel the extra power on the wheels as well as see the increase in MPG. If I use 87, I would probably get about 24-25 MPG with the way I drive. With 91, I'm getting at least 27 MPG. Acceleration is smoother as well and much more quieter. I think 87 gave me...

Originally Posted By: KevGuy My recommendation is that you just change it every time you change the oil and put a new orange can filter on each time. Orange cans are $5 each at Walmart. And you continue to say you're not biased?... Puro Classic @ Walmart is ~$3.50. Thanks for the input...

When using the same filter for a second oci, do you guys take it off and drain the oil or keep it on and use half a quart less?

What filter did you use?

I just went back and re-read the full thread. THIS IS HILARIOUS!!! I call drunk!

OP, how's your fuel economy/MPG?
