Hi, I'm due for an oil change on my Honda and I'm having a hell of a time deciphering all the crap on the internet about oil and filters for this next change. I got a jug of Castrol Edge 5w20 already but I need a filter. Being in Canada options aren't the same as the US but I'm leaning towards a purolator boss (pricey off Amazon for 30 bucks cdn and can't find locally) from reading other forums but after watching fordbossme on youtube I've found its cheaper and easier to get Fram Ultraguard 16.99 cdn and they seems to be well regarded vs the regular fram. K&N is easy as well but they're more money at 21.99 cdn. looking for the best protection for my cars (19 Mazda cx-5 2.5 and 09 Honda accord 2.4) without spending big money for something not worth it. I put pennzoil platinum into my wife's Mazda with a K&N oil filter but read and watched reviews showing the K&N is not great quality by comparison. If thats the case i wont use them again.
So, is Fram ultraguard fine, go for the Purolator Boss, or stick with OEM. Also, is K&N just marketing wank? Looks identical internally to cheap Walmart filters.
Thank you for any help!
