Keep this on the D.L., as it would make the elves very upset. When I change the oil next week in the VW, I will be using M1 0w40 & a Purolator Pure One filter. The M1 0w40 seems to keep my engine very clean. The car seems a little happier with GC, but the engine doesn't stay as clean. I'm going to start alternating between GC & M1 every other oil change.

Well, if you get in your car and can beat me to the Autozone on 8th St here in the Springs (you'd probably only have to drive 175 mph) there were 3+ cases of 05 Green in the store last Sunday...if I go, I won't go until tomorrow.quote:

IIRC, doesn't the M1 0w-40 clean on a regular basis? I swear I've heard several people talking about how it cleans, and keeps their engines clean. I'm just curious because if it is a cleaning type oil, I know a few folks that could really use it..
1. You're right about the orange death cans. I'll never use ANOTHER one. You see, I have to confess something....before I came to BITOG & became oil-informed last year, I used to get my VW's oil changed at Wal-Mart.quote:

at an M1 filter being used with The Elixer. Now, an Orange Can of Death..that's a(W2 I know you would never desicrate The Elixer with that..thing..I'm just proving a point)

2. My results have been spectacular with M1 0w40. I even did a 5100 mile UOA on it & the results came back very good. It's buried somewhere in the UOA forums. It cleans my engine very well. The varnish that was present (peeking through the oil-fill hole) from the SuperTech dino was completely cleaned off by using M1 0w40. M1 even makes the cleaning claim of 0w40 on their website.

I found some AC Delco Ultraguard Golds, and that's what I have on my car now...so far it's a match made in heaven.
The elves don't like cheap filters, especially those that don't flow well like the PureOne. Their favorite is the K@N.

Please, the Pure one flows well enough for any engine. Why would you use a cheap nitrile ADBV with $5 a quart motor oil?quote:

To the original poster:
Try out this filter...
Honda Part number for S2K Oil Filter
(Same filter as the HOP Hamps)
15400-PCX-004
Its not the Filtech regular Honda filter, its a Japanese made filter for the S2000, same filter as the $11 green HOP Hamp filters.

Okay pscholte, what is the elves current favorite oil filter? Currently I used a Mobil 1 in the larger PF52 size, but would also use a K&N or a NAPA Gold as well.
I use KN/Amsoil/Motocraft filters. I humbly disagree Pure 1's dont flow....
Some Audi Dealer Mann filters say "30,000km/2years" on them. I suppose that these would be the choice of Audi dealers in Europe who go that distance on SLX II. I use them or BOSCH Premium.
Mann is the only non-dealer filter I can find for my BMW's.
try the s2000 oem oil filter, part # 15400-PCX-004.
