'72 Plymouth 318 v-8, Purolator, AC Delco or PowerFlo, every other oil change ~ 5-6 mos or 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Been doing it like this since 1961 in my cars, vans, and pickups. Never had a malfunction, failure, or early worn-out attributable to the oil system or any of its components or fluids. Follow owners manual recommendations and you'll be just fine.

Change my oil filter when I change the oil. OCI is 6 months or 7500 miles wich ever comes first!So far I have used Denso filters on my 03 Camry. I normaly buy 6 at a time to get discount. Normaly I use SuperTech/Tech2000 oil filters on everything. Their are only two filters I will not use Peak Hard Driver and Fram. I like Baldwin and Hasting if I am forced to buy something other then Super Tech. Have tried every brand I can think of and none are any better then the rest in my book.

Airfilter I change once a year reguardless of miles. I like my engine breathing free. I use OTC filter and am not to picky about brand I have a Fram airfilter in it right now. I fill not use a oil guaze filter on a daily drive and am not a big fan of foam either.

I've really enjoyed the the recent polls on this board as it's always interesting to compare your product selection and maintenance habits versus what others do. There has been a lot of debate on how long filters last so I thought a poll would be insightful. I'll go first:

Vehicle | Filter brand | Change Frequency

00' Saab 9-5 | ACDelco UG Gold | 5,000 mi
04' Honda CR-V | Purolator PP | 7,500 mi


04 Avalanche 5.3L | K&N HP-1007 or Napa Gold | 3K miles
