Upon reading the sticky "What oil should I use? What is the BEST oil?"
https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/what-oil-should-i-use-what-is-the-best-oil.119027/
...I created a topic asking for recommendations as to motor oil, and got some very good advice.
New to the site, I'm hoping for some info on filters.
I drive a 2000 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0L inline 6 cylinder. It's got about 117k miles on it, does not use any oil, lifters tick a little. I drive about 250-300 miles a week, most of it on winding roads and with quite a few short trips (trip < 10 minutes). No towing, some hard acceleration. I have changed my oil and filter every 3K miles to date (I know, maybe overkill). I use conventional oil.
Until recently, I had used "orange cans of death" since high school...never put much thought into it. About 6 months ago, I read a bunch of stuff on the Fram conundrum, and started using Bosch/Purolator, P1's and "white cans."
Have I ever known anyone who's engine blew up as the direct result of a Fram filter? No, but it looks like I can do better for the same money.
My questions to the community are; what brand of oil filter do you like? What do you recommend based on my maintenance/driving habits? What is your experience with OCOD? Who recycles used filters?
Anyone with Jeep experience...pipe up!
