Brand matching

[Bettez88]

Does anyone else need to have all their filters matching? Meaning the oil filter, air filter and cabin filter all need to be the same brand? Or am I just a weird f@$k? What brands do you use for oil filter, air and cabin?

 

[Zee09]

Not me.

 

[Eddie]

Yes-weird

no need to match, but sometimes the parts stores have some kind of sale or rebate when you buy all 3

 

[Zee09]

Seldom does one company have quality filters for all of your cars requirements.

 

[gman2304]

No….yes…

 

[tyman]

Yes, weird.

Air filter - usually OEM except truck has an AFE drop-in filter as part of the replaced intake tube system
Cabin filter - something something off Amazon with charcoal
Oil filter - Fram Ultra

Why does that matter?
Quality at the lowest price should be the objective.
If they end up being the same brand, fine.
The vehicle couldn't care less if they match.

You gain 10 more HP when they all match.

Never even thought about matching filter types.

I use either Mopar or Fleetguard on my truck for all filters. The other vehicles I’m not as picky about.

Just my $0.02

No. I frequently have oem air filters, fram ultra oil filters and who knows what cabin filters.

Not really.

I try to buy Mann Filter, but I won't turn down a deal on a serviceable part.

I really dislike the green and yellow Mann packaging (my Green Bay packer fan wife on the other hand…) but it’s hard to turn down the price.

And the quality.

Hengst is solid as well.

Of all my ocd, this is not one of them. I use whatever catches my eye at the time. Usually it's price-based. If I'm driving a Ford I'll get the OEM Motorcraft oil filters. They're cheap as Walmart brand.
