I was wondering if you can tell the difference on an oil analysis between using a regular OEM filter and using a Mobil 1 or other similar premium filter? There was one person on the Edmunds board who says when he uses the premium filters he sees a difference on the oil analysis. What exactly changes on the analysis?
Right now I'm running an AC Delco filter on my Firebird and a K&N Performance Gold filter on my wife's car. We can't get the Mobil 1s up here. I may just try out the K&N a few oil changes later on my car once I have established a trend with my oil analysis reports.
At the same time, I don't want to spend $15 CDN for a filter when a $3 filter will do the same job!
