I’ve known MANY mechanics who knew nothing (or next to nothing) about oil specifications, they just dumped in whatever bulk swill they had stuck in the tank. No idea how to rotate tires correctly, either-I’ve had to show the owner’s manual to them to show how the manufacturer recommended doing it (Ford mechanics/service advisor, at a Ford dealership). I’m really glad I can maintain my own vehicles… And I don’t know what I’ll do when I can’t do it anymore…Absolutely
I'd use this filter...you can get deals and it's really clean and looks great.
I'd use ST too but I have seen too many Walmart bashers that have no clue including mechanics...you know.
